Golden1, you say you used it for a couple of months. Tell me if your brain energy and memory is better, worst or the same as before you started. If aniracetam promotes receptor growth, did you notice new abilities other than color saturation or loudness of sounds ?
after stopping for a while because it started to make me get drowsy much easier(unless I was constantly physically active it started making me just want to sleep) I can say that I don't notice an obvious effect on my energy, although I've always felt very mentally awake.
My memory I would say is better, as it seems like I can remember details much easier BUT I can not be sure that it is actually better. One reason being that it's been a decent amount of time since I've started using nootropics and I didn't regularly take notice of how my memory was before.
I find that I certainly have more of a love for life and nature, I think this is because of how connected I felt to reality on aniracetam.
In summary, it may have had some positive lasting effects, but they are not obvious to me.
edit: Actually not quite, it greatly reduced my anxiety in social situations. I used to get anxiety which was basically just conditioned into my brain and while I was on aniracetam I noticed it disappeared completely. This I suppose made me used to being calm in those situations. It's very good for anxiety.
