Blew $80 on a 'focus supplement' and crashed right before finals

I bought this nootropic stack from a TikTok ad thinking it would help me cram for exams, but it just made me jittery for 20 minutes then I passed out on my textbook. Has anyone else gotten scammed by those study pill ads?

Focus supplement" just means caffeine with extra steps...

Man, I've been down that road. I switched to just a half cup of black coffee and then stacking it with L-theanine from a bottle I got online. Helps take the jittery edge off but still gives you that clean focus without the crash.

Wait, you actually bought a nootropic from a TikTok ad? Like you saw a random person on there hyping it up and dropped 80 bucks on it? lol lmao I'm genuinely shook right now. Those ads are so obviously fake, always showing someone staring at a book with laser beams coming out of their eyes or something. The jitters then crashing thing is classic caffeine overload, been there with energy drinks myself. TikTok is like the last place I'd trust for something going into my body, especially for studying. I feel bad for you though, 80 dollars is a lot to lose on a nap in textbook form.
