my goal is using piracetam or its analog continuously without cycling off or building up tolerance.

since oxiracetam and aniracetam work differently, does that mean I can use piracetam for 4 weeks, and avoid cycling by simply switch to one of its analog (oxiracetam or aniracetam for example), and use it for another 4 weeks?

what I'm thinking is ...
4 weeks of pir --> 4 weeks of oxir --> 4 weeks of anir --> 4 weeks of pir

theoretically not ridiculous . it might work.

It isn't that simple I'm afraid. Each analog works a little bit differently enough from each other through different mechanisms. I'm taking piracetam indefinitely. It never loses efficacy for me.

I have never heard of a piracetam tolerance building up. From what I understand and from my experience (have been taking it for years almost every day) is that the longer you take it the more effective it is so why cycle?

Cycling is a stigma that needs to be overcome when necessary. Some supplements do need to be cycled, but the vast majority do not.

I've often wondered about this in regards to Piracetam and a choline source.
Do brain benefits just accrue - increased thinking and corpus colusom activity leading to increased neuronal connectivity (neuroplasticity)?
Or does the brain always balance itself out and down-regulate - create less synapse receptors and neurochemicals in response to the influx from the outside source (the pills)?
Any info and theories on this would be welcome.

By the way, I love Piracetam. Tried many things, but Piracetam surpassed my expectations!

Good question. I'm interested as well.
