Hello again,
According to several articles on the internet and also to this scientific research http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/10338103 Piracetam improves NMDA as well muscarinic cholinergic receptor densities.
Piracetam is also supposed to do a lot of things beside that. (i.e. better communication between the hemispheres effects on the dopaminergic system and so on)
Now if it is true that receptor densities of various types are increased (by 20 to 40% what I have found, which is ALOT), effects of the corresponding neurotransmitters must be pronounced as well.
I took 6g Piracetam a year ago for a couple of months and then quit. I still have that feeling of high nerve activity in my frontal lobe (like little flashes when you put your finger between your eyes).
Also I react very positive to choline intake. 100mg of simple Cholinebitartrate are enough to give me that feeling of being able to find the rights words so easy when writing and communicating.
Could it be that higher Acetylcholine levels now have an even bigger impact?
Also the reason I quit Piracetam and also Noopept, which I took very little of, were skin rashes and hives which I got. The hives went away, but my skin is still kind of sensible/allergic. I dont know if the Noopept just was of poor quality or the increase of receptors made me more sensible. Meaning that the rashes are a neurological problem.
Skin rashes can also be caused by low Acetylcholine, so probably as I need more I should regularly supplement that.
What do you know about scientific studies concerning Piracetam? Increased connections in the brain should be the final goal of any mind boosting!
