Been doing some reading on nootropics and am interested if anyone else here has taken, and if so, what stack did you use , dosage, how often and what were the results?

Im considering trying piracetam and CDP choline together and seeing if there are any improvements.

/edit/ and where did you get from?

I see there is only 1 local place i can find to get them, alternatively I have been looking at smartdrugsforthought.com
 
does it enhance memory that already happened where you can recall / remember events better than now? or just new memories?

The stuff seems to be very individual dependent and dose dependent.
Some of the reading indicates it helps recall and someone I have spoken has said the same thing.
Most of the accounts show improvement, but the amount does seem to vary quite significantly.
I see some of the guys are taking a crap load in their stack, and the cost is ridiculous.

Its why i am looking at something relatively simple to start with, and take it from there
 
I WANT IT!!!!

I'm so tired of my memory letting me down and causing fights. And the past 29 years or so is just one big blur basically. NEED THE MEMORY DRUGS!!
 
I tried to order piracetam twice. Both times the packages never made it to my house.

I have tried theanine which is available locally. It worked for me in improving concentration, I also found that by just drinking green tea I got enough theanine, so I don't buy the tablets any more and just buy cheap green tea from pick 'n pay.

Any idea why they never arrived?

I think the theanine improves concentration due to its calming effects. I called the Solaltech health line last year and they recommended it for my anxiety. They also said their Naturally High product is what most people seem to be using for their mood and anxiety etc. I guess it will also aid in concentration because it has ginkqo biloba.

They are quite pricey, though.

Customs are a bunch of *******s normally. You need some kind of letter from your doctor to prove that you're not importing medicine to resell and that what you ordered is actually not available in south Africa first. So in the end you need to jump through hoops, pay registration/filing fee's and crap otherwise they just never release the package.
 
Ok, so my stuff arrived.
2 months after ordering, but im sure the strikes didnt help either.

I actually have a big exam coming up and dont wanna mess around before it.
So will start the stack 1st of June and give feedback. Im not going to take massive doses, i also hear it can take a few weeks before effects are felt.

Im going to give it a month and see if there are any improvements

And Cdp choline. Was interested in a few others, but upon recommendations I was advised to use those two first

Trying out Noopept without choline atm as I feel I have enough choline in my diet at this stage. Sourced from the UK and it was in my hands within a few days.

How long have you been taking?
Have you noticed any sensory or memory recall improvement?

Side effects? Do you get the irritable/ moodiness ?

Been taking it for 2 weeks now. No side effects from what I've seen. Have a bad mood to begin with, so nothing changed there.
Have I noticed Improvements? ... not really no. I feel more focused in a way though. But noticing things like 'better memory recall' is difficult to notice/feel imo.

So that is why I've been using Lumosity to try and gauge and measure any possible improvements. Was semi stuck at about 800BPI for quite a few months. But now have a look:

Notice, what I take to be, the placebo effect (marked with the red dot the day I started using it) coupled with some minor fluctuations in my BPI.

Do not confuse this post as proof of some kind ... I am merely reporting what I see

So started my stack yesterday.

Took less than the forums suggest, and even less than the manufacturer suggests.
1600mg piracetam with 250mg Choline.
Not sure if it was a placebo, but i didnt feel great. Felt all over the place, had fuzzy head pretty much the entire day. On the plus, first day in ages I havent felt tired. Went to sleep with the foggy head still in place.

I have halved my dosage today and think I will stick with this dosage till the end of the week. Will give feedback by then on any results.
 
Experimented with Piracetam about 10 years ago. Worked great but gave me terrible insomnia so I sadly had to give it up.

The response to these substances tend to be very individual as do the dosages: For some people the effect is to strong and others hardly notice anything at high doses.

As an example I never took over 200mg while others need 2400mg just to feel it.

Good luck with your experiment and remember to try both with and without choline.

I couldnt come right on the current stack. I think it might have also been the stress of the exams i was doing and even some flu.

Had a cloudy head pretty much the entire time. Felt quite energetic but lacked any real kind of focus.

I am considering trying again with a lower dose and work my way up. Just want to be 100% healthy before giving it a bash again.

So far, i would say it has been a less than great experience.
