I have 750mg caps of both aniracetam and oxiracetam. I am looking to increase my verbal articulation, motivation, focus, memory, perception, mood, and cognition (I know, quite a tall order). My main motive for this stack was to include the oxiracetam for its potency + long (8 hour) half life, and the aniracetam for its widely regarded anxiolytic/mood-stabilizing characteristics.


I tried dosing oxiracetam yesterday and didn't notice too much besides my brain taking in much more "information" when I went outside, I just kind of looked around and went "hmmm, my brain is focusing on a lot of the scenery at once". I tried dosing one cap of each racetam this morning but got brain fog along with a headache, although I've heard that aniracetam causes brain fog with its first couple uses (please verify). Please note I am taking 2400-3600mg of lecithin daily.


Does anyone with more experience have any tips or thoughts on my proposed stack? I would also like some suggestions on how to (how often and how much) dose these caps though my days.


Any help from the experienced nootropic veterans is extremely appreciated.


Thanks!

It'll take some time for your brain/body to adjust to them.
So brain fog and headaches are common early occurrences.
There might be some immediate effects (both good and bad)
but most of the benefits, in my experience, come from
sustained long term usage (i.e 6 weeks to 6 months).

By the way, enhanced color vision is a sign, in some people,
that the racetams are working.

The first 6 weeks are critical. If after 6 weeks you still
get brain fog and headaches, you need to take a break and
revise your stack. Usually after a week or 2 your brain/body
will adjust and you should begin to see the benefits of the
racetams.

For me taking 1g to 2g of Choline at night helped prevent
brain fog and headaches when I first started.

You should also take a look at this thread which is an
alternative stack that might help with your goals.
