What people say about Piracetam and anxiety
“The effects were wonderful, they still are to me-- verbal fluidity, increased motivation, quicker thinking, better recall, pro social, wake up in the morning with ZERO grogginess.”
“Then out of nowhere, after 6 months (approx) usage, Piracetam stopped working. It didn't do anything other than make my brain feel weird and me stupid.”
“I took an attack dose yesterday of 10g and had trouble falling asleep resulting in like 5 hours of sleep.”
“Word recall is better, social anxiety gone, more motivation. My grades went up with piracetam, and there's no doubt about it.”
