Are there any nootropics that have decent evidence of nonnegligible effectiveness that aren't listed in Slate Star Codex's Nootropics Survey Results. Asking so I can use replies to this comment + survey as an exhaustive list of nootropics worth considering.
Gwern's records of his own self-experimentation are not to be missed: http://www.gwern.net/Nootropics
There's quite a few, but Nicotine is the one that jumps out at me, as well as Ritalin and Adderal.
Edit: Here's a more exhaustive list than Scott's, although still not complete. The great thing about examine is you can click through and see exactly what evidence there is for what effects.

Pseudoephedrine comes to mind. Does anyone know what the evidence is on that?
I haven't heard of psuedoephedrine having nootropic effects before - what have you heard? (On a related note, it mostly makes me unable to sleep. :( )
Only personal experience. I noticed that I was more focused and could get by on a lot less caffeine when I was taking it for a cold recently.
