I've read that before, and it's good to be cautious. Piracetam works for some people, and for some people it doesn't do anything. Other people unfortunately experience brain fog. If it's because of diet, other medications, being unfit, I don't know, and I don't know how those things would exactly affect piracetam's effects on an individual.
I think that people who have some mental deficiency - either through a lack of nourishment or whatever else - or people who abused their neurochemistry - through drug abuse, for example, has the most to gain from something like piracetam because there's room for improvement.
People who are already at a mental peak won't experience such huge gains. For an example, if your IQ is 140 and you add another 10 or 20, that's a small percentage increase and not as noticeable as someone with an IQ of 90 gaining 10 to 20 IQ points.
I use piracetam with bacopa monnieri and I find that the bacopa monnieri offsets some of the negative side effects of piracetam. If I don't use bacopa monnieri, I'm irritable, I have mood swings and I get slight brain fog as the piracetam works out my system throughout the day.
In the end, these are all personal anecdotes and the only way to find out is to try it for yourself. You can watch videos of people driving cars, you can read books about driving cars, but you won't know what it's like until you actually drive a car. Same thing with piracetam.
