New to Nootropics
charisma 08 May 2005
Also anything that might possibly enhance dreaming. I know that may sound odd, but I haven't remembered a dream except rarely in years.
Thanks so much for your help

While the process of finding the right nootropic (or nootropics) for you can take alittle time, knowing the effects you are going for is helpful.
Imminst member Rasputin had the same problem with dreams for him I recommended Aniracetam 750-1,500 mg which made a big difference.
For the other effects you are going for Idebenone 150-300 mg may enlighten you.

With the Aniracetam does it make a difference whether you get the capsules or the powder?
And what time of day should I take the Aniracetam and Idebenone?
I'm sure I'd take the Idebenone early in the day but I'm not sure if I should take the Aniracetam early or late.
One last question, is Unique Nutrition a good place to order from? I was looking at them and Bulk Nutrition.
Thanks again,
Charisma

As long as you have a good scale and know the powder is good quality, no.
And what time of day should I take the Aniracetam and Idebenone?
Idebenone 150-300 mg and 750 mg of aniracetam in the morning and another 750 mg an hour before going to bed.

Both are fine companies.

I have read....it was ages ago and don't even remember where that not enough vitamin B6 can result in not remembering dreams....
Charisma, are you taking any B vitamins? (if you're going to add something I'd take a B-50 rather then just taking B-6).

Nice tip, the aniracetam before sleep. I never touched the aniracetam or piracetam because i thought they would stimulate me too much to sleep .

Subjectively, I can testify to the dream-enhancing properties. The only problem is, it seemed like I was dreaming all night long, and I didn't really get any deep delta wave sleep. So I woke up still kinda tired.

I too get this effect from the racatems. If I take p'tem and a'tem before bed I can wake up feeling pretty tired. Fun sleep, though.If you have things to do the next day, stay awake from -racetam before bed.

Don't ask me why, but that's what I've experienced. I also take aniracetam and alphaGPC so those contribute and I will attest that my dreams were much more clear and lucid for a week or so after starting the aniracetam.
[The 140mg picamilon figure comes from a mix I did of L-carnosine, nettle leaf, and picamilon in three capsules a day(just happened that way). L-Carnosine(350mg),Picamilon(70mg), and Nettle Leaf(200something...don't have it nearby). soooo....maybe it's the carnosine and not the picamilon....but I kind of doubt it....anyone?]

Thanks for all the responses. I was really excited to read them. It seems like I go to bed and as soon as I fall asleep I wake up and go to work. Kind of a bummer.
Oh, one other question... I was thinking about getting the trial of Aniracetam from Unique Nutrition just to see how it works for me. Would I get the full effect of that if I take it by itself? I'm taking the choline that's in my multivitamin and my B-complex vitamin as well.

I got a bottle of B-150 today so I'll let you know how that works out, thanks for the tip. I had some vitamin B in my multivitamin but I'll see how this goes on top of it. Seems like it may be a lot of vitamin B but I don't see much in the way of negative reactions to too much of it, except for possibly B-6.

I would consider adding some, as most B-Complex's & Multi's do not have alot of choline.
