i am a person who has suffered with motivation, energy levels, and what i consider "slow brain function" my whole life. I recently tried piracetam and it worked like a miracle. However, I am using piracetam in hopes that it causes a long lasting positive affect even after stopping usage (or at least no noticeable discontiuation effects)

I find that amphetamine is one of the best nootropics, but I have to stop using it because when I stop taking it, I feel extremely tired, slow, and unmotivated.

Has anyone had experience with using piracetam for awile and then stopping? Does it cause a permanent beneficial affect or will the benefits be reversed when I stop taking it? Ive read of people requiring to up the dosage due to tolerance, people talk about taking 10-20 grams in one dose. This is what I am trying to avoid. I currently take 1.2 grams and get more than enough of an effect, but I don't want to keep upping my dosage only to find out that when I stop taking it I am left in a hole like I was with amphetamines.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Piracetam stop working on you mean ,your brain already at peak level ,possibly ?


Or simply  glutamate excitotoxicity when you eat ton of food contain a lot of MSG .
Now i using Piracetam sparingly ,not worth toxic sometime when i accident eat food contain unknown amount of MSG .

_but you might respond well long term ,better take a break from it ,i learnt a lot most hardcore Piracetam not using Piracetam every day ,might this is a rulz.

It do something really bad ,my brain had skewed up ,i spend life most daily basis without any motivation to do anything because of so poor memory i have available right now .
Piracetam might be harmful in long-term ,but short term it 's so good ,better take very long break from it .I just recent stop and do a lot of exercise .

Huge problem about Piracetam is mood flat in long term ,i don't' know why ,but it effect every respect of my life in negative way .

[Nootropix]

When it effect me in negative way ,i never known about it ,cause my manic symptom Piracetam provided ,i spent a lot of money on nonsense thing and never know after i have stop piracetam that it so useless ,
manic symptom fake me that i 'm very creative and .On one can help because of Piracetam effect not accept anyone suggestion .

I have self lithium treatment  and manic symptom go away and Piracetam seem less effective ,it might turn off genius genes also maybe , i try avoid it anyway right now .

lol not exactly the story on your user profile

He is from Thailand as you can see below his avatar. So no need to assume, just read it :p
From what I've read here, most people who use piracetam started with what is called an "attack dose" i.e. a relatively very high dosage.
Then they decreased the dosage significantly to a level where the affects are still noticeable but not an attack dose hypo-mania inducing state.
Also, here's a thread about your question. Maybe you'll find your answers there  : http://www.longecity...g-term-effects/

I think he had a glutamate excitoxicity syndrome which destroyed his neurons, one member had the same thing but with pramiracetam.
Long-term piracetam leads to increased NMDA receptor density which is neuroprotective. Also likely you will reach a tolerance plateau and feel nothing special after around 2 weeks of use. Best is to cycle.
Chronic use of piracetam if you are not prone to glutamate excitoxicity or another chemical unbalance will only be beneficial for your brain however on the rest of your body the only thing you risk is blood thinning and/or kidney overload if you take massive doses. (>5g)

Sometimes it happens I use piracetam for several weeks, the only noticeable effect I have is when I type on my smartphone on the virtual keyboard, with piracetam I always type the correct letter and do it very fastly which is quite pleasant, also happens with a real keyboard.
Also my motricity is kind of better, I can make specific gestures more easily and faster.
But I don't feel anything really noticeable concerning music, rather aniracetam gives me that.

Ive had excitoxicity before from severly abusing cough syrup and then smoking shitty weed the next day, I guess I should feel lucky to be in good mental health, because I remember literally being unable to talk, hear or taste for hours and then i had this weird ringing in my ears which never went away completely.
