I am soooo happy to have seen this thread. Thanks for OP and all contributors. After doing some light research I decided to try Piracetam (or Piracetamum as it says on my box of Geratam 1200 mg.). I started out taking a pill a day (1200mg) in the morning with a citicoline 250mg (CDP Choline) capsule and after about a week I started getting nosebleeds. Very strange for me - I can't remember the last nosebleed I have had. Now I was also taking 200mg Provigil (Modafinil) occasionally so it might have been an interaction. At any rate I stopped the Piracetam and the nosebleeds stopped. As far as effects I did feel a little more clear-thinking, but again the Provigil is a fucking fantastic drug which does the same thing so not a good test at all. After a week I switched to a stack of NootroCetam, Aniracetam, and a few others offered by a clearnet place. They specified 3g twice a day which I took for two weeks and felt absolutely nothing. I stopped taking that and after a couple of weeks I went back to the Piracetam. This time I broke the pill in half (it was scored) and took half in the morning and half at lunch. I also doubled up on the CDP Choline thinking that maybe not enough of that caused the nosebleeds (probably nonsensical). I took that dosage for a month. At the end I got a cold and near the ned of the cold my nose started to run unbelievably. I would lean over my laptop and a teaspoon on water would suddenly pour out of my nose right onto the keyboard before I even knew what was happening! This happened 6 or 7 times a day for three days and then the color got a little reddish instead of clear and I figured it was time to stop taking it again. So weird. I just decided to give it a week off. As far as effects during that month, I felt great. I required less sleep, was clear thinking. Never got tired at the end of the work day (as long as I had normal sleep). I didn't feel like a genius or anything, but I was focused and on task. It was clearly doing something although it wasn't like the movie Limitless but it was something - something light. Here is one effect I didn't expect but clearly felt - I could not get buzzed from alcohol. I would drink two or three double shots of tequila and barely notice it. This effect was so pronounced I have no doubt that it was happening. It was really annoying, but beneficial because I just stopped drinking a lot since it was useless. Good for my health I hate to admit. After reading all of the other posts tonight I want to try going back to the pre-mixed stack and upping the dosage significantly. After that I will once again try the Piracetam again at double the dosage. I think we should exchange notes on where to buy these on clearnet since they are available. My mix is called The Ultimate Mix and if you Google that with the word Nootropics you will find it. Where do you find your RC's in bulk or in pills? I am in the USA but bought from an EU website.
