Positive experiences
“Other things are in that gray area like sulbutiamine, racetams, selegiline, and nicotine have helped me.”
“I have already tried some racetams and bacopa monnieri etc. for focus and memory. They worked well.”
“one of the oxi/ani/pram and two tablespoons of MCT oil... racetams and mct will not punch holes in my slow wave sleep, and often help me lucid dream”
Negative and mixed experiences
“Before, I was trying some racetams but reading this article scared the hell out of me about racetams and I stopped.”
“even the nootropics that some communities swear by did nothing for me (some that come to mind - racetams, tyrosine/NALT, NAC, methylated B vitamins...”
“Noopept/racetams/choline useful to bring back my recall after I had destroyed it through years of dxm abuse. It DOES work for that, but if you are a healthy adult it does absolutely nothing.”
“The racetams and all the other stuff people are talking about in this sub did nothing for me.”
“I have noticed since starting glutaminergic nootropics, my excitement levels have fallen, and euphoria that I get from certain drugs has diminished.”
“I tried all the standard racetams, noopept, phenibut, all kinds of shit...Still either nothing, or effects that were barely perceptible.”
