Recommended books: Constantinople City of the World's Desire by Philip Mansel and Strolling Through Istanbul by Hilary Summer-Boyd and John Freely.

Reasons to move here...a beautiful, thrilling, complicated, conflicted city of 15+ million people with over 2000 years of history that is everywhere you turn. The food is excellent. Turkey itself has an incredible amount to explore - google the Kackar mountains, Datca peninsula, Black sea coast, Gazientep, Mardin. Extra perks - Turkish Airlines flies everywhere and a one to four hour flight will bring you to Europe, Russia, central Asia, the Middle East and northern Africa.

You don't need to know Turkish but your life here will be easier if you do. If you have a friend here as moral support, you'll muddle through together.

so you can get l-theanine from amazon, thats harmless.
but modafinil is prescription.

Modafinil can be abused and its a perscription drug so best to ask a pharmacy for that.

Just some insight into /r/nootropics; If you want L-Theanine naturally all you need to do is drink tea. You're in the most tea consuming part of the world. Try all the different tea leaves and have some fun with it before artifically trying to fix the "problem".

Most notably there is an excessive coffee/caffeine culture in Turkey. caffeine can cause depression when taken in high amounts (yarali/ezik/emrah edebiyati ffs). Not to mention caffeine is an addictive stimulant which makes you seek it out more too. Potassium usually helps alleviate that. Try eating bananas or coconuts (or coconut water/juice). From personal experience I saw some effects in a week.

Im just a dude on the internet telling you these things but here is one of many papers describing the effects (on korean young adults but should apply on Turks too) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4826990/ but there are tons of other research being done as well.
