Nootropics (piracetam etc) - mega merged

^ I know what NSAIDs are, I take them almost every day for my arthritis, but i assumed it was bad for you, like damaging to your liver and your stomach lining. Good for you brain? Clarify?

oh haha okay8)
and idk how its good for your brain, sorrrry
 
I would really like to know what supplement I should take to help out my memory?

Since having 3 grand mal seizures (whereby I stopped breathing for extended lengths of time) I feel my memory is simply atrocious, to the point it's really starting to affect (and grate on) my work and friends, aswell as myself.

It's quite depressing, actually, just how much my cognitive function has been crippled from those seizures, but alas I have only myself to blame!
 
^ work on deep breathing, drinking more water and exercise (+ a good stretching routine) to repair any damage which may have occured. These things will enhance oxygen flow through your body.

Also look into ginko biloba, green tea, fish oil (dont bother with low quality capsules...aim for something with high levels of EPA and DHA...it really does matter here) and piracetam for specific supplements...
 
Piracetam addiction/ Withdrawal symptoms? Seek info Piracetam downsides/side effects

I have ordered a batch of piracetam, and plan on taking it for cognitive enhancement. I care a lot about my wellbeing and intelligence, so i do this in order to increase my intellectual capabilites - if there are any detrimental effects related to piracetam use, i would like to know about it.

I do not care if some of you think it has no effect, since i still will be taking it then ;) All i care about is the possible negative effects of the drug, and i am especially interested in long term detrimental effects - such as addictions and withdrawal symptoms.

I have encountered threads on several boards about guys having been on a long term piracetam intake. When they stop, they experience tremors and muscle spasms coupled with anxiety - they say this occurs once they stop piracetam, and the symptoms disappear once the piracetam intake is resumed. This sounds like a rather serious case of a legit addiction to this drugs, and i want to know whether this is something everyone experiences, since i wouldnt like to get addicted to anything in general.

thank you. I t will be ingested with ALCAR and choline bitartrate and fish oil.
 
Hi everyone. I just started taking piracetam 1.5 grams 3 x daily for 4 days and have now been taking 2.5 grams 3x daily for 2 days.. I feel slightly more energetic and happy.. Also the color blue is pretty intense even the background of this forum is super clear for me :) i havent noticed enhanced cognitive abilities nor have i had any headaches. (not taking choline yet, but will start soy lecithine 2morrow @ 1200mg twice daily) Im also planning to take some molly the 8th of october. So im curious to see if my roll will be enhanced (only rolled 4 times and just started doing so 6 months ago and thankfully havent had any real comedowns, only feeling tired for days after, but the piracetam should fix that)

So far i feel : - more impulsive ( i start dancing as soon as i hear music :p )
- more energetic
and colors are more vivid

Hopefully ill get the intense dreams and enhanced memory soon.. Keep you guys posted

PS> Ive read aniracetam is good for depression and social anxiety and has an immediate effect so ill be trying that in a few weeks also.. (im not depressed or anxious but i heard its neuroprotective and eases comedowns even more than piracetam)

Long first post :D .. Sorry if my grammar sucks (im dutch)
 
Your english is better than most native english speakers I know.

Welcome to the forums man :) Nice to have you on board!

I have recently started considering nootropics also, since my memory is ridiculous since having grand-mal seizures and excessive drug abuse. I am so dopey now. I used to be totally on the ball but I both worry and annoy myself (and people around me) with how switched off I am sometimes, barely remembering conversations I just had 20 minutes ago and whatnot.

Have you any experience with other chems of this nature?
 
I may be mis-perceiving (and correct me if I'm wrong) but it seems like the majority of posts in this thread are from *new* piracetam users.

Are people losing interest / effects over time? This stuff sounds convincing, but it's mostly from people who are just starting it.

Again, I have had an ale already tonight, and I read about 5 pages of this thread sometime earlier this week so my general impression might be off.

Eh?

I did stop using piracetam(as well as other nootropics, minus omega 3s), but not because it wasn't working anymore, but because I simply got fucking tired of eating more than a dozen pills right after I woke up everyday. I was capsuling them up myself, and couldn't fit more than about 800mg in one pill(and let me tell you, this was REALLY streching things. The capsules were almost busting open they were so full). I took a long look at my stack and decided what I really needed based on the data/research.

I may pick it back up one of these days, after all I do have a few hundred grams left in my closet in a tub :|. If I did though, 'm leaning towards a 6 month on, 6 month off cycle, and I still do have interest in other nootropics(mainly the ALCAR/ALA combo), but for now things are on hold.
 
i stopped using it after about 4 days just because to wait for a drug to kick in after a month of taking pills every day is too much commitment imho

i mean i get sick of waiting an hour while waiting for recreationals to hit me

also the fact that it 'might' not work or that the effect it has are not very noticeable make it seem like a waste of time

To say that Piracetam can't cure some serious issues is just not true. I use Piracetam to treat Raynaud's phenomenon, which a vasospastic disorder of the hands and feet. This causes my hands, mainly, to become freezing cold from lack of blood flow and piracetam works like a charm to make these "attacks" less severe and less likely to occur. While this condition is not life threatening, to my knowledge at the moment, I would consider it definitely something that decreases quality of life and piracetam essentially ameliorates this issue and has no known adverse drug interactions that I am aware of and appears to be well tolerated even in the long term being one of the least toxic drugs in history, based on current observations and LD50. Has the LD50 ever been calculated anyway? I think I saw a study that just omitted the LD50 because it was too high. Hate to be the rat that died from having it's veins clogged with piracetam powder. lol

Jup after couple days of pir i have noticed improvement also..
 
Thanx :) ..
Nope Piracetam is the first noot ive tried so far.. Havent noticed any other effects since i started, besides improved sense of wellbeing and slight increase in sexdrive.. I couldnt wait till the 8th and took some MDMA with 4 grams of Piracetam..It made my roll more energetic and made my comedown almost non existant.. Ill be rolling again in november and will be taking the piracetam about 2 hours prior instead of right before taking the MDMA because i think it made the comeup longer and peak more intense but shorter.. Read on some other forums i should take it 2-3 hours prior to my roll.. So ill let you know if that helps
 
Cool man.

I am especially interested in the anxiolytic effects and increasing confidence. But I hope it can restore my memory and sharpness to what it was before the seizures. I intend on starting with Piracetam and Alpha-GPC. Are you taking a choline donator with it?
 
i really liked the pira i had while it lasted, but i made the foolish decision to go doofing at the time. the resulting amplification i had of the carefully restrained dose of psychedelics made the experience less than pleasant.

it was great for my studying though
 
piracetam is good stuff, found it made me quite short tempered though
 
Yes i take lecithine 1200mg with it..
But the first week i didnt take any form of choline and was just fine. To be honest i cant tell the difference.. @ ColtdDan i have also noticed being less patient and slightly short tempered..
