Hi everyone,
So I've been taking a stack of Aniracetam, Piracetam, and Selegiline for quite some time now. The most difficult aspect of stacking Aniracetam and Piracetam was getting the choline ratios right, especially for something as potent as Alpha-GPC. After months of playing with the choline and racetam dosages, I've finally settled on the perfect regimen for myself. Well.... almost perfect.
My current regimen consists of:
Deprenyl Sublingual 5 mg
Piracetam 2.5 g (single dose with milk, 4 am)
Aniracetam 2.0 g (single dose with milk, 4 am)
Alpha-GPC at 25% of my total racetam dose (I'm using 50% purity)
Dexedrine 15 mg
Caffeine 200 mg (single dose, 5 am)
Multivitamin
Fish Oil
1.4 g glutamic acid in the morning, and 700 mg in the late afternoon
Melatonin 5mg Timed Release for sleep
For the first 2-3 days, it was truly beautiful. I was able to maintain my productivity levels all day, and my social skills also drastically improved. I did experience some memory recall problems for both short-term and long-term memories, but with enough thought, I was able to retrieve old memories.
So some of the problems I've experienced with my current stack is that my sleep seems to become compromised almost every night. I seem to be getting to bed maybe one hour later than usual, but I have no trouble waking up at my normal time in the morning. As a result, I've been sleeping 6 hours every night for a week now. I wake up feeling fine, and I am able to begin working through my agenda immediately. However, as the day went on, I found my mood to be flattened, and eventually to a point where I became irritable, emotionless and anhedonic. Also, the cognitive benefits also seemed to wane... possibly due to lack of sleep.
I suspect I am a bit deficient in choline, and severely REM deprived. The choline deficiency may be what is causing me to go to sleep a little later, and experiencing REM suppression. The melatonin further compounds on the REM suppression effect, thereby resulting in me getting lots of NREM, and subsequently feeling physically fine but mentally unstable. Also, I do not get headaches at my current Alpha GPC dose, but I have noted in my journal that I experienced bouts of confusion, mental fog, and some memory recall issues.
So last night, I tested my theory out that I could possibly take an Alpha GPC a few hours before bed in order to boost REM sleep. It worked like a charm, and I was able to dream all night, but sadly I overslept and ended up waking up a little late today. I was thinking perhaps I could take the second Alpha GPC dose every other day, just so I can maintain that balance of REM to NREM sleep. However, I was wondering if that would mess up my circadian rhythms due to my exogenous intervention. I would think it wouldn't, just because I am able to sleep at the same time every day and wake up at the same time every day.
Anyways, please let me know what you guys think, I need your help!
