Piracetam/Choline interaction with cold medicine (i.e. Sudafed with pseudoephedrine)

[tzeentch]

Not sure where I can post this since I'm a green lighter.

I'm taking 800mg of piracetam with 300 mg of choline twice a day.

I'm now only drinking 1-2 cups of coffee a day (as opposed to the pot a day habit before I started this experiment).

I picked up a nasty cold virus and took some 12 hour Sudafed.

I thought that I was actually getting better and beating the cold. 12 hours later (~6PM), I took a second dose of Sudafed.

Within about 30 minutes, I had a crazy amount of energy, my heart was racing and I was experiencing mild teeth grinding.

I eventually managed to fall asleep around midnight, but couldn't stay down for more than 10-15 minutes at a time.

Much sicker the next morning. I took another dose of Sudafed with my piracetam/choline cocktail and became an energizer bunny again ... and then I realized my mistake.

At that point, stopped all caffeine and started pounding water.

I took more Sudafed at 6PM without the piracetam ... but still had horrible issues sleeping.

I suspect that the piracetam is 'actuating' the pseudoephedrine.

Has anyone else experienced this?


p.s. I've been completely clean except for coffee and the occasional glass of wine or beer for ~4 months.

DXM and methadone?!?

I avoid anything related to opiates -- eeek!!!

I'm currently taking a break from everything because reality was getting a little too strange.

Yeah, have heard a lot of reports of piracetam potentiating stimulants.
