Misc Can anyone orientate me re: Piracetam?

[rob_kenmore]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, and I'm interested in learning about Piracetam. I've heard that this substance can enhance cognitive performance, learning capacity, and mental stamina. I know next to nothing about Piracetam, and would like some orientation.

What is the therapeutic dosage for adults? Is it the kind of substance that needs to build-up in someone's blood stream over a period of days (i.e., aggregate effect of daily dosing) before its cognitive benefits manifest, or do the drug's effects show shortly after dosing?

What's the half-life for the medication?

Do people who take Piracetam tend to develop tolerance to the drug, such that, after a few months, the drug no longer has a therapeutic effect?

Any other information about the drug's pros and cons would be helpful as well. Right now, I'm just researching the possibility of using it.

We don't discuss prices, legality or availiability here.

Piracetam is a mild nootropic that does little for cognitively healthy people but may be of aid to people who are ageing etc. Some people find it induces wierd side effects like depression though. All in all it is a very mild compound, though the doses are in the grams to tens of grams a day to get an effect.
