been reading up a lot on all these nootropics and i have come down to two. is aniracetam preferred over noopept that being it has more research. noopept seems to have some bad reviews coming up after more than two weeks use, etc. does aniracetam carry the same side effects? which is better for long term use to improve overall function?

Having done quite a bit of research on both noopept and racetams, I would definitely stick with the racetams. Noopept seems to have a higher incidence of increased anxiety, based on a few anectodes I've read.
May I ask why you are thinking about choosing aniracetam over piracetam, as it is far more expensive for little benefit.

I would start with aniracetam. Its qualitative effects are superior to all for me. I have social anxiety and it works wonders. I have now added noopept because it adds more energy to the mix. I was taking pramiracetam for energy but I switched to noopept due to the high cost of prami.
My current stack is
Morning
1 fish oil
1 CDP choline
1200mg aniracetam
20mg noopept
1 multivit
Afternoon
1 fish oil
1 CDP choline
600mg aniracetam
20mg noopept

Ergic, I've tried piracetam in the past with less then spectacular results. Is aniracetam really a stronger anxiolytic?
I am also curious about noopept's effect on anxiety
I am also curious about noopept's effect on anxiety
I have read in some posts that aniracetam is 'better' than piracetam and right now i don't know where to find piracetam that can be sent to where i am. really curious about the potential of these things as well as the side effects and/or withdrawals and if they are worth it..
Try Ebay
Aniracetam in my experience is more of a mellow semi-anxylotic racetam compared to noopept. It also has a shorter duration than noopept, i'd say aniracetam lasts about 2-4 hours and noopept 4-8. Noopept is more cognitive enhancing ime, but thats with 5-10mg taken sublingually compared to 300-400mg aniracetam orally. Also, noopept can be a bit edgy, and cause anxiety/nervousness in individuals predisposed to those conditions, aniracetam can as well, but much less than noopept.
Recently i've been taking a break from daily 300mg aniracetam and noopept a few times a week, and noticed i'm a bit more chilled as of late. Could be unrelated, but i think for me at least they can cause a bit of tension, and aniracetam as an anxylotic is not exactly cut/dry.
I'd just get both and try them out. They're both pretty interesting, noopept seems like its more effective, especially when used sublingually. Also take some choline with them, it can be dietary from eggs, citicholine, cdp, ect. Doesn't really matter, but without it i get headaches. Too much can give tension headaches as well though, so experiment to find what works best for you. And don't take noopept on an empty stomach if you take it orally, the enzymes will chew it up if they're not occupied with food already. Sublingually seems quicker hitting, more effective, and you don't have to have a meal with it. But it tastes like utter shit, so try and keep it under your tongue as long as possible.

Sorry a little off topic here but I have a question. Can I store noopept mixed in liquid(water) by liquid measuring and not destroy the potency over time? I got 5g of this stuff and it is such a pain in the ass and waste of time measuring 10mg each time with my scale.
