Positive experiences
“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.”
“I feel pretty amazing and seem to be much more focused and productive. The headache I normally wake up with is nonexistent.”
“Word recall is better, social anxiety gone, more motivation. My grades went up with piracetam, and there's no doubt about it.”
“Piracetam has largely eliminated this morning discomfort. This one thing has improved my life immeasurably.”
“I got 100g of Piracetam last year, and that stuff worked extremely well for me. Everything looked sharp, bright, and alive.”
“I've been taking piracetam for roughly 1 week and have noticed significant increase in my ability to relate to others. Regularly initiating conversations with people I would formerly avoid.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“A friend I know uses Alpha GPC and Piracetam to good effect but they didn't impact me the same.”
“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.”
“I felt like I was making better, faster subconscious decisions, and my reaction times were faster than before.”
“I have ADD and took Piracetam off-label for roughly a year. It helped my grades, but didn't help my concentration at all.”
“I also notice an increase in energy, free-flowing thought, and the ability to effortlessly recall memories.”
