First of all, well, thanks for the answers to my questions guys
Aniracetam review (in general):
Anyway, I'll post an update from my Aniracetam experience. Today I've been one week on Aniracetam, I'm so impressed by it's effect on me. I used really micro-dosages (not even 1/3 of a teaspoon) because I didn't want to empty my little bag and be without Aniracetam!
Even though I've been using micro-dosages I feel quite stimulated from it, slight druggish but in a positive way (it feels like my head is in some sort of positive bubble, especially the part where I have issues, the PFC, it feels “lighter”). Where I usually give up on reading an article or something I've been reading whole articles with a great pace and quick understanding (English is my third language but I cruise through sentences as if I love reading), vocabulary I'm doing great, I now can easier recall words when typing, when talking however, I still have a hard time finding the right words.
I don't have much to do on a daily basis but am quite active at the gym, I'm taking group-training lessons (4/5 days a week for almost 2 years) and am unfortunately arrhythmic (the moves all happen on music, and no, I don't dance, the classes I take are for bodybuilding/fitness), usually I have a very poor concentration, short attention span and I lack to learn the "moves" we're doing, now however, I'm able to follow the instructions and sometimes even notice I'm doing the moves on auto-pilot, like I finally know what's coming next, just like most of the other "normal" people in the class where I've been training with for so long.
On a side note: being arrhythmic, technically means that my left and right part of my brain don't communicate good enough with each other right? (one thing I do know for sure is that Zyprexa, Mirtazapine and Clonazepam contribute to being "slow" and/or arrhythmic.)
Positive symptoms of schizophrenia:
I have a much easier time dealing with thought-intrusions (that's actually the only positive symptom I had for months because I am in a relationship, so I guess too much haywired dopamine was partying up there whenever the relationship-stress heated up).
Mood:
My mood is somewhat the same (though, on a bad day I'm feeling more down than usual but that doesn't bother me much because throughout the day I don't really feel depressed about it). I'm more talkative and I notice that I care less what other people think and have a easier time being around people without taking Clonazepam. Speaking of Clonazepam, I even forget to take my dosages or skip dosages on-purpose because I don't need it as much as I did (though, I've noticed, taking both together seems to have an even better effect on my mental health than only taking one of them. Clonazepam is still my most effective “antipsychotic”).
Negative symptoms:
The symptoms I struggle with are my negative symptoms, they got (weirdly) worse. I'm really not motivated and/or am in the mood to do anything, however, when I manage to get off my ass I do way more things than usual. Same counts for talking, I don't feel like talking at all but when a conversation starts I seem to be able to talk more than usual. I don't know why but Aniracetam has some sort of weird effect on my negatives that on the one hand makes negative symptoms worse and on the other hand, quite the opposite. Anyone a theory why?
Cognitive symptoms:
As you can read, this speaks for itself, Aniracetam is a great cognitive enhancer without the feeling overdosed drug effect Nefiracetam had on me. (Can't compare it to another racetam, these two are the only ones I tried so far)
Side-effects:
The only side-effect I noticed is that I wake-up very very tired, quite depressed and wanting to sleep more. So my day starts like: very hard time to get out of bed, after an hour or so that I manage to get out of bed this negative side-effect faints, after 2/3 hours I feel the need to take my first Aniracetam dose and my daily cycle repeats itself.
Also, can anyone advice me on the use of sulbutiamine, noopept and aniracetam. Do they go together without interacting and what dosages should I begin with?
