Does anyone have any experience of Aniracetam causing anxiety issues?
I've been taking this for 6 days now at a very cautious dose (50mg daily initially, now 100mg in two divided doses) but it's making me feel totally weird: as in what feel like sub-panic attack symptoms.. feeling wired, edgy when I'm out, etc. Taking the recommended dose (which I was doing for about 3 days, six weeks or so ago) had very similar effects, except much more so, which is why I discontinued and took a break.
Since Aniracetam is widely touted as being anxiolytic (anti anxiety), and since one of the main reasons I'm taking it is for precisely that reason, this is kinda annoying.
I guess it could be some initial settling in period side effect, but to be honest feels too consistent to really be that.
Anyone else experienced anything similar, or have any theories about this? It does occur to me that, since panic attacks are conceivably caused by a mis-firing or overactive parasympathetic nervous system, and since A-cetam stimulates parasympathetic activity, maybe there's some connection there?
Incidentally the only other supps or substances I'm taking, of any sort, are Lecithin granules (as a choline source w/the Aniracetam) and a multi vitamin.
