What people actually say

“If I have coffee before I eat I get panic attacks. If I have it a bit later in the day (a few houes after waking) and after eating something I get emooth energy.”

“I feel way better after I have my first coffee, whether it's 15 or 45 minutes after waking up.”

“Try also going off coffee - that really helped me more than I ever expected.”

“For the nicotine I found that drinking extra coffee during the day helped.”

“I have noticed that I respond better to a cup of black coffee as opposed to a 200 mg tablet of caffeine.”

“I normally drink coffee every day, sometimes 3 cups in a row, but find mild benefits and tend to overvalue every sip. I get 30 minutes of feeling sort of energetic but crash soon after.”

“I've been doing this for almost a year now and the energy and clarity I've gained from it is one of those most powerful 'nootropic' feeling I've ever had.”

“Coffee works great for me but I am way too sensitive and it acts too long on me to the detriment of my sleep.”

“I was very anxious and listless for a while and the substances that helped me the most were Pramiracetam + alpha GPC.”

“The plus is that I felt that I spoke more fluidity and with more confidence.”

“By far the most potent nootropic I have tried. The biggest aspect that I have noticed is sense of well being and reduced anxiety. And one of the weirdest effects is I do not crave stimulants anymore.”

“Pramiracetam has always reliably worked for me. I find my recall is improved...but it made me too focused and had a blunting effect on my emotions.”

“If you combine phenylpiracetam with pramiracetam you will get a focus & energy effect very similar to modafinil. 100mg-200mg of Phenylpiracetam + 300mg of Pramiracetam is my favorite stack when I need Energy, mood, motivation and focus.”

“Pi + Prami = AWESOME! since pramiracetam is basically just super piracetam they combine well. I stopped taking it cause its super expensive.”

“Been taking it for a few weeks, pretty consistently. 500mg daily... Effects were very good... Mainly alertness and mental acuity/sharpness... I tried it for about a week and didn't feel anything.”

“From what I've read it's about 15 times more potent. So far I've been feeling pretty focused and have had minimal headaches.”

“I have taken piracetam every day for a month, aniracetam for a week and pramiracetam for 2 weeks. I did not notice any effects at all.”

“Pramiracetam - discipline, willpower, good for repetitive tasks, blunts emotions in a positive way. the ones that worked for me the most was a combination of Oxiracetam and Pramaracetam.”

“I find these two to be best for focus and anti-anxiety as well as memory (working and long-term)”

“have been using pram for a few days and wondering if I should switch to noopept. In terms of effect, felt a wee bit more motivated, def had headaches for a short while.”

“I use it in the mornings instead of a large dose of Piracetam, and it helps with memory recall and the formation of new memories.”

“I needed to up the dose of prami to ~400mg...I am really quite enjoying oxiracetam, I combo ~800mg with ~400mg prami in the morning and feel somewhat stimulated and generally focused.”

“Pramiracetam 300mg - Made me feel really strange, discontinued use swiftly. Did manifest cognitive improvements.”

“I find racetams (piracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracetam) extremely useful for brain fog and focus.”

“A supplement I have never seen on here that works great for me is Phosphatidylserine. Somehow awesome.”

“I have been taking this...and I have had great results...From my research, I found phosphatidylserine to be of little to no benefit on cognitive function.”

“Phosphatidylserine (8/10): ... it made a pretty big impact as far as stress reduction for me. I felt less physical anxiety in social situations...”

“100 - 200mg Phosphatidylserine helps with my insomnia when I drink too much coffee during nightshift.”

“Phosphatidylserine has worked really well for anxiety. But careful with high doses, I got hypotension taking more than 400mg per day.”

“Not feeling any difference.. I find it really weird I don't feel any different than I normally do.. no concentration boost or anything.”

“within 10-15 minutes if I'm feeling more down to Earth and relaxed...Over the last three weeks, I have seldom had these nervous thought loops.”

“I've been trialing 300mg of phosphatidylserine 1 hour before bed for the cortisol lowering effect. Getting great sleep and it seems to also reduce my daytime anxiety by a lot.”

“Week 1 I was taking phosphatidylserine daily and I had 3 solid days (Wed to Sat) of calm, fear free, anxiety free living, but then I blunted cortisol too much and I couldn't stay awake.”

“I've been trying to calm it down with Phopshatidylserine, Vit C, and Magnesium, assuming it's something to do with Cortisol or Adrenaline. But I can't seem to get it to go away.”

“When I took it out of their stacks, I noticed that they declined. Started again — they improved. It definitely works, but it's on the scale of weeks, not days.”

“Took total of 300mg a day, split 3x. I got more horny than usual the first day I tried it and unfortunately after that I haven't felt any particular effect whatsoever.”

“Phosphatidylserine does wonders for me, side effects are minimal if I dont go over the dose that my body can handle.”

“my favorite starting stack is bacopa, vinpocetine, PS, and Omega-3s. I've gotten between 3 and 4 months of incredible motivation, energy, creativity, and focus out of this aggregating stack program.”

“Phosphatidylserine is the shit. Memory-boosting and also calming. Helped a lot when I was a pre-med.”

“I’ve had positive results in the past with that as far as improving sleep quality.”
