Good stuff for memory/studying
By Ben Eberle
Piracetam has been part of what I call my study stack for college. While it -might- not be as good as aniracetam it's much cheaper and easily available.
One thing to note when considering it is that it tastes utterly horrible. If you've tried bulk PEA...you aren't prepared. If you've had bulk BCAA's...they're like candy in comparison. An entire lemon crystal light can't mask it. Either shotgun it and/or chase it or cap them. It's that bad.
Using a dosage of 2g I've had good results (3.85) stacked with Huperzine A, a good B-Complex and Lecithin (important to take this or some sort of choline with piracetam).

Effective and potent
By Ebor
I've been taking Piracetam for almost a year now, and must say it definitely works to increase alertness and memory, and I would even say it makes me a bit smarter too. It definitely has a stronger effect if you mix it with Choline (100g of 1Fast400 Choline Citrate mixed with 500g of Primaforce Piracetam is my standard combo). To test if the effects were real or imagined I got two of my friends to try it with me, and both reported an increase in alertness after only a few days of continuous use. One friend actually felt the effects right away, and found his optimal dose is only around 2g a day. I was much less sensitive, requiring about 6g optimal daily dose. The other friend was in between. The effects were positive for all of us, but our sensitivity and optimal dosage varied, so I recommend starting small and stepping up your dosage until you find diminished returns.
Also, Piracetam tastes very bitter. The best way to hide the taste is mixing it with something else that's bitter, like grapefruit juice or lemonade. I don't think it's that bad though, and stir it with a small amount of water and chug it. One more thing, this is NOT a substitute for real medication. I have ADD but wanted to explore alternatives to prescription drugs. The Piracetam helps overall cognition, but nothing enables me to focus as much as my Ritalin.

Grogginess
By jtvt
This product is what it claims to be and does definitely has an effect on the thought process but I didn't find it to be entirely beneficial. Particularly if I don't get a full nights sleep it makes me feel tired and slow for a while after taking even medium doses. After googling "piracetam tired" I see that I'm far from alone there. Useful occasionally to put oneself in a different state of mind, did seem to help with recall, but that's negated by the inability to verbalize these thoughts efficiently. Worth a try at this price as everyone is different with these things but not quite the wonder drug I was expecting.
