What people say about Piracetam and memory
“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.”
“Word recall is better, social anxiety gone, more motivation. My grades went up with piracetam, and there's no doubt about it.”
“I have ADD and took Piracetam off-label for roughly a year. It helped my grades, but didn't help my concentration at all.”
