LONGECITY

Ok, so I bought some Aniracetam, 750 mg, hoping it would help somewhat with my "underlying" anxiety which has come crawling the last 4 years, and will not go away.

Day 1: 1 capsule of Aniracetam with sun flower lecithin and fish oil - no effect

 

Day 2: 1 capsule of A with fish oil, and then one with fish oil later - no effect

 

Day 3: 1 capsule of A with fish oil and 600 mg l-theanine - no effect

 

Day 4-5: As day 2

 

Today: 1 capsule of A with olive oil - no effect. Later: 750 mg with olive oil. Later: 750 mg with olive oil. No effect.

 

I have been off l-theanine for about 3-4 weeks now. When I started with it alone it worked at 400 mg, then 600, then 800..... After 5 days I had to take 2000 mg to get the same effect as first day with 400.

 

I had high hopes for Aniracetam, but so far NOTHING

 

I am thinking tomorrow to try: (1500 Aniracetam at once + oil + sun flower lecithin + 1200 mg L- theanine) (All at once)

What do you think? Any other suggestions?

My advice would be to add caffeine to your L-theanine in a 1:2 ratio (100mg caffeine: 200mg theanine) and try that at the lower dosage.  I'm unaware of any evidence that taking anything more than the above dosage 1-2 times/day would help.

 

As far the aniracetam, I would pair this with a choline source:  AlphaGPC or CDP choline.  And again, stick to the lower dosage of aniractem (750mg, 1-2/day) for a week before changing anything.

 

Keep a journal, make notes, do what ever you need to do track your diet, sleep, and results.  This will allow you to accurately monitor and address any changes.

If you are biting your lips or gums or tongue----cut down on L-Theanine, it caused that for me even at a low dose.  Could just drink 2 cups of green tea a day and get the L-Theanine, as well as other benefits of green tea...

I didn’t notice much from 750mg or 1500mg Aniracetam. I think the dose may need to be higher for some as 3000mg is well tolerated.

If you still don't get anything after adding in citicoline or alpha gpc you might want to try noopept.  At least for me, noopept is the most similar in subjective effects to aniracetam.

So far I’ve tried oxiracetam, piracetam, pramiracetam, phenylracetam, aniracetam, and noopept. Only one I really felt was noopept the first few days but it quickly subsided.
