I made this page up, it lists interesting Piracetam quotes found on forums throughout the Internet. Really great for turning people onto this amazing molecule!

Thanks for doing that, Isochroma I'm going to have to try Piracetam.

Do you take it with a choline supp.? Would you mind sharing what your daily dosage of each is, & if you take choline what form is it, cdp-choline....?? Thanks, D

[calengineering]

To answer the thread's question: No, Piracetam has not helped me at all. I did not notice much of any difference.

[bure]

How long are the "effects" or piracetam supposed to last?

I read the article on piracetam on bulknutrition.com and it says:

"The oral bioavailability of piracetam is almost 100%, and it has no metabolites [22]. Peak blood concentrations are reached in 30-50 minutes, but the maximal CNS effect is at about 6 hours after administration; similarly, the plasma half-life is 5 hours and the CNS half life is about 8 hours [4, 22]. The drug is completely eliminated 30 hours after administration [29]."

So I'm wondering, which of these "half-life" numbers are relevant?

When a drug reaches it's half-life, does that mean from then on it is ineffective?

Thanks!

Update. I continue to use 4 x 5g doses of Piracetam per day! The effects are nothing short of absolutely amazing. I feel like I'm becoming GOD!

Yes, I go to bed between 2-4 am each morning... last night I hit the sack at 4.15a and this morning woke up at 10.30, about 6 hours sleep. All day not a TRACE of tiredness. I DON'T do caffeine or any other stimulant during the day. Working all day a mile a minute, with that wonderful CLARITY, POWER & SPEED! Now I break ALL the rules and live a golden existence of absolute mental perfection.

I've got kilos of this stuff in constant stock, and will buy more kilos at the end of the month. My goal is to accumulate hundreds of kilos in a cache in case it is banned, etc.

Also I'm interested in a method to recycle this from the urine, since it isn't metabolized there's currently 100% waste, as it is just excreted by the kidneys.

Choline in sufficient quantity is still provided by eating four raw EXTRA LARGE egg yolks per day. The whites are cooked and eaten. I found that six raw egg yolks per day was so rich that it was causing me to feel too full for too long, and have some digestive clogging/discomfort. I do have a very weak digestion; most people should have no problem with six.

Dear God,

Please don't drink your urine. Or even distill Piracetam out of it. Piracetam isn't going anywhere.

Experiencing any sides from your Goliath-size dose?

But I am glad it is going well for you (I'm a Piracetam fan) and I can relate to your other comment somewhere about Aniracetam making you tired. I found that effect the (very) few times I tried it.

Take Care,

One Of Your Flock




[Just so a newbie knows, usual Piracetam dose ranges from 2.4g - 9.8g/ day (many like the 4.8-6.4g/day range and some benefit from very low-doses, especially if the are on a large stack.)]

For me, Piracetam has not had any effect that I'm able to feel.
I'm a young(21) college student and I've been taking 3-4x1.6g per day with 1x800mg Alpha-GPC every other day. I have been taking these for 4 weeks.

I've tried Piracetam from 2 different suppliers(Unique Nutrition and International Nutrition), and at first was skeptical about whether they were placebos, but after finding that both have the same effect on me and taste the same, I've started to assume that they both have at least some significant amount of the drug in them. Yes, I am looking for another supplier, but don't bring this topic up. I do NOT want the UN/LM debate or some marketing campaign disrupting the current thread.

The observations so far:

• I no longer like very fatty foods. Lasagne, beef, casserole & minestrone all kill my apetite. Pizza and pasta don't leave me with that "must eat until I'm bloated" feeling that I used to have. Kind of strange, but good for my health :D. Has anyone else experienced this?
• Neglecting to take choline actually reduces my alertness significantly. Headaches also occur.
• I am unusually good at Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero now(Both are rhythm-based arcade games and require deep concentration). Compared to when not taking piracetam, I've seen a noticible increase in score. My misstep rate in DDR has halved.
• When I miss a couple doses in a row, I do feel different. Less alert.
• I can't comment on sleeping patterns as I just recently began quadrophasic sleep cycles. I haven't had a "normal" night's sleep in over a month.

acnecdotally... Ive only never had powerful effects from the powdered form sold at bulknutrition and cognitive nutrition

"I've only ever had" or "I've never had"? Lol! Just wondering.

[Mr.Bananas]

I have tried it a few times now, and every time i end up having brain fog, even with cdp-choline and/or alpha gpc, so im just gonna try it with shrooms and acid to see if it potentiates it, other than that im done with it.
Btw, i voted for "i had better results with pramiracetam", so another *racetam might do it for me.

You might want to try a lower dose. Going overboard with Piracetam and CDP-Choline makes me want to sleep. A little goes a long way, for me.

I hate afternoon lethargy. Piracetam could really help me with this i think.

It's so strange. I used to get sleepy during the day every day. After a year of 4 tsp. per day of Piracetam, I no longer get sleepy. Period.

Not even when I ought to be sleepy or mentally fogged/tired (late at night after long day, right after waking up, etc.). Yet I still get my usual hours -15% of sleep, and its better than it ever was. More brilliant dreams, always wake up super refreshed with brain working full speed.

It's like I'm gradually becoming superhuman.

The best analogy I can think of is replacing some junk lube in an engine with superfluid gas that has zero friction. Not only does the engine run better, but so much cooler and without damages building up that it can function in ways not even anticipated by its designers.

Which is why I call Piracetam Neurolube! The stuff over a period of time no only superlubes the brain, it also gradually polishes all those microcracks and nanoscratches until the entire interior horizon is shiny smooth and super slippery. No stiction means no friction, and no friction means no wear. No wear means less damage and less need to repair (shorter sleep hours).

This molecule is the closest I've come to the true fountain of youth, an amazing God-molecule that everyone should be taking. Thus it is recommended if one wants perpetual brain superfunction and to never get tired and to have brilliant dreams and to get better effects from a wide array of other drugs via potentiation, to use three to four teaspoons of Piracetam every day all day of your life.

Hmm... yikes! I think you ought to stop it right away. Clearly it is making you manic. These are the ravings of a madman!

Can't you see that? Oh, well of course you can't...

Next thing you know you'll find yourself fashioning spandex costumes and contemplating deviant misguided superhero plots like dosing city water supplies, super-smart rays, and a city-sized magnetic cognitive-enhancement field bubble that goes disaterously awry!

Isochroma<br /><br />Is the only racetam you are taking piracetam? What is your choline source?

edit: duhhhh eggs. I need to order some Piracetam

I'm confused, you took only 4 tsp per day? Is it only 4g per day as 1 tsp is only 1g, I thought you should be taking a lot more than that.

[moo]

Over the last year my average was 4 tablespoons per day (4g per heaping tablespoon). I take about the same or nearly so today: 5 x 3g "flat tablespoons" per day.

Of course it is just eyeballed, I weighed it once on my friend's scale. So I should buy a real scale shouldn't I? But I'm a cheapo.

Now that I've ordered more potent racetams (Oxiracetam and Pramiracetam) I suppose it's time to cave and order one of those milligram scales off eBay.

PS. sometimes just because I like the bitter aftertaste I nibble on extra bits between doses. Each extra bit is about 1-1.5g. Redosing totally enhances the bitter taste which helps to convince me that I'm buying a real drug. The worse it tastes the better I feel about my skinny wallet.

You won't be nibbling on pramiracetam- that stuff tastes awful.

Does anyone know whether taking piracetam with Citrus or any other delivery facilitator would be a bad idea? How about grapefruit, which is supposed to break down some enzyme?
