Piracetam - does it work??

I haven't used piracetam for a few years since my first experiments with it. I found good results, as listed in the earlier pages of this thread - I stopped simply because I ran out, and have not yet purchased any since then. I mean to buy some in the future (as I would be interested to repeat the experience) but have yet to send off an order.

I know several other people who have had similarly positive results in the short term, using both tablets and piracetam powder ordered in bulk. But, I'm not aware if anyone I know has been taking piracetam daily in the longer term.

I think I saw on this site that nanobrain has been taking piracetam daily for quite a few years (10+?)

Don't have time to search nor post the relevant thread. sorry. I'm a busy beaver these days
 
Yeah, nanobrain has done a heap. And still takes it as far as I know. I think he's American tho?

Anyway, I'd take the stuff ever day if I could but I'm a bit of a tight arse so I don't. I usually have a box in my cupboard and if I need some more action out of my brain than usual for work I'll start taking it.
Last time was when I wrote up my job application for my current job. Did a fuckin good job of it :D

Vinpocetine is a well-researched, safe, cerebral vasodilator and antioxidant. It's derived from vincamine. I've tried it before, and there appears to be *some* result, but to be honest I think piracetam is superior. Everyone gets different results, though...

I've found fantastic results for exams with the following:
4g piracetam per day (2g morning, 2g evening)
4g choline (2g morning, 2g evening)
5mg selegiline
1000mg phenylalanine (500mg morning, 500mg evening)
10 fish oil tablets (~3g omega-6)

After about a week or two my memory starts becomng almost photographic. I can memorise enormous volumes of information with relative ease.... For example, I didn't really go to statistical physics for most of the semester, and in 3 days managed to learn around 130 pages of notes... Ended up getting 91 in the subject.

My thoughts were much clearer too :)


I just started piracetam this past week. I'm starting 1600mg piracetam and 300 mg alpha gpc 2x per day now. Definitely relaxes my anxiety but maybe produces a foggier head. I know I'm sleeping better and becoming more tired. I have deprenyl on the way. My question is how old are you with that selegiline dosage? I am 34 and was thinking 1mg per day. From what I read I suspect that's more neuroprotective than actually making me feel any effect but at the same time I don't want shorten my lifespan. I'm no expert on this stuff but I've done tons of research and you make tallys and lean one direction or the other. I also take fish/flax/borage oil and I have D-phenylalanine (not sure if I should have D, L or DL) that I was saving for the deprenyl. I'm still adjusting to the piracetam/choline. I'm getting cerebral pressure and slight headaches but I'm giving myself a chance to acclimatize. As you can see if you haven't changed anything, we are on essentially the same course for the same purpose (I'm taking this for a post-bacc premed) so naturally I'm very interested in any comments you have on bl or immortality. I follow da sense also, last I heard he had forsaken all other noots for dep.
 
yyeh, i still take piracetam and in Australia. been at it now for close to 20 years, i find it is simply the best foundation for any mofo of a nootropic stack. and it definitely 'works'

just posted my new and improved one in this thread here:
http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=245249

mind you, i cycle courses, with breaks of up to 2 months between 4-6 month courses.
 
i took alot of piracetam with oxiracetam and aniracetam with dmae and hyperzine and few others last year for exams. I have been back on piracetam, oxi, for the last couple of weeks after a fare bit of dug and alcohol abuse over the holidays. Its working ok but not good enough.
have any of you guys tried other racetams and other nootopics. what do you guys recon the best combos are and doses
 
Does Piracetam expire with age? Ive got some thats a couple years old, any good still?

hey nano, what did you think about this article?

http://www.futurescience.com/deprenyl.html

my juprenil just arrived but this article is giving me pause, youve been using dep for 20yrs? at 5mg? how old are you now?
 
hheh, i am roughly 125 in human years, so my DA production is obviously zero. but the 3 remaining neurons are vicious survivers and have a tendency to capture every free bit of a given neurotransmitter, so i definitely need help in this department to keep up w/the younguns in the 'i thunked' department.

oh, and i do not have PD or any alarming symptomatology - although some members of this board will beg to differ.

for all playing with l-dep - please - be extremely careful and heed all warnings as they are not hyperbolised. 5mg/d is max when i am in the middle of a hardcore course. otherwise, 2.5mg every third day is plenty. less is more with l-dep.

breaks are mandatory with any and all psychoactives, and we all know, so is a healthy lifestyle, including individually balanced nutrition / excretion and proper exercise.

i wondered about your age for the dosage guidelines, and i wondered if youd read the article and were taking the anti-oxidant stack it recommends
 
Oh yeah baby it works!

Every day that goes by, I'm becoming more and more enamoured with my new love: Piracetam! Because rather than tolerance making the doses less effective, I am finding them to last longer and longer. At first I would start getting a bit of mental tiredness about one hour before the next dose (I admit stretching the doses over way too long a time period - 5-5.5 hours instead of 4). Now I don't even notice a drop in the clarity or awakeness before my next dose.

In other words, this stuff is making lasting, functional changes to my brain, which means I just don't get mentally tired like I used to.

Its been eight days, but not once have I felt tired, at any moment in my waking hours, even at the end of long days of work and after repeated 2.00am nights. Yes, this stuff is God in powdered form, truly. My life is now clear, sharp, alert. Before I would get so tired working on my PC in the afternoons, I would constantly be falling into microsleeps. It was terrible. Btw. I've never used any caffeine or alcohol or prescription stimulants.

Best, no matter how late the dose, I can work 'till whatever hour then flop into bed and go to sleep right away. It doesn't interfere in the least with sleep, in fact sleep is deeper and more refreshing than ever, with significantly more brilliant dreams.

I did have to start eating egg yolks, due to the appearance on day three of an extremely mild headache (barely noticeable). Within two hours after eating six egg yolks, it was gone, permanently. I'm currently eating six raw egg yolks per day, and will cut back to four shortly. They're delicious, too.

I take 3 teaspoons a day, at these times:

1. 9.00a (or whenever I get up)
2. 4.00p
3. 9.00p

I'm just so amazed how my brain can really perform. This stuff is the most truly magical compound. The closest to a total genetic re-engineering of the brain, without having to do so.
 
I took it every day for about 2 months and didnt notice any changes that couldnt be regarded as placebo. Maybe i was more motivated but I might have been like that anyway.
 
Among other things, piracetam is a normalizer of brain function. That means if your brain is subfunctional, it will raise the function. And if it is already optimal or close to it, then you won't notice much.

That's why there's such enormous variation in individual responses as reported on forums all over the internet. However, it appears between 2/3 and 3/4 of people are benefitting to some degree.

Beyond the obvious effects, piracetam also slows lipofuscin formation, and does other salutary things in the brain. Because of its low cost, it is still worth taking even if you don't notice overt nootropic effects, because over time it will save your brain from ageing.
 
Do you sell Piracetam or something? All your posts are about Piracetam and 3 of them are identical.
 
No, I don't sell it. But I wanted to post my experience to various threads, so I could expose as many folks as possible to the wonderful story of this awesome molecule!
 
Aniracetam is a totally different molecule, with very different effects. It made my brain feel like it was a foot underwater. Not sleepy but slow, like I was moving through thick fluid for many hours.
 
^^ that happens to me when i take too much piracetam. Less is more, you might also need to have some choline supplements as well
My ideal dosage is ~1 gram w/ a coline source in the morning, more than that and i start to get a bit cloudy mentally
 
I'm a big fan of aniracetam, which is more potent than piracetam and its legal in Aus too. Buy in bulk powder form, dip a spoon and you're good to go.

A quarter spoon of aniracetam and a couple of adrafinils timed so that whatever you need to be focussing on (eg work or an assessment) will be getting rolling in about 2 hours, and the best anaolgy I can think of is as that two hours kicks over, its like a nitrous kick hitting your brain, its almost as though things start spinning a whole lot quicker mentally.
 
I've been compiling a page on people's positive experiences with Piracetam, emphasizing its amazing power to potentiate other drugs - most commonly MDMA, psychedelics & cannabis. There's some absolutely stunning experiences, stuff to change a person's whole life. Especially noted is its power to 'bring back the magic'...

Each quote is linked to its origin - they come from a variety of forums and sites all over the 'net. Read on to find out just how good Piracetam can make your roll - among its many other benefits...
