Piracetam is pretty much as effective as fish oil, but with more side-effects. I tried it for a while and it impaired my memory and wide-recollection. I browsed through pubmed to find evidence of its supposed effectiveness, but there really are mixed results. Mixed doesn't mean good. It's most effective on rodents, but doesn't seem improve human cognition.

Don't waste your money on it. There's a lot of hype about Piracetam, but it's mostly people who have enormous powers of self suggestion. They would get the same results from calcium tablets...

There is very little evidence of it working on humans for other purposes than a form of epilepsy despite being known for many decades now. Many studies find it has 0 effect on cognition and the studies where there appears to be some positive effect are tiny and apparently aren't up to all modern standards (the older studies).

So yea it's bullshit.

I noticed strong effects from pramiracetam but Piracetam either is supposed to have a long-term effect or it doesn't work on me. But from user ancedotes, it seems to work stronger on other people than others which might be as you said, power of suggestion. But my own usage of pramiracetam has definitely increased my focus, motivation, and mental energy.

Expensive as fuck though.

Wait.. so does this mean that if you don't have add/adhd when you take it then you will act hyper and shit?

Does that mean I might have add/adhd?

>> No.4075128

>>4075063

Because in ADHD, the dopamine in the brain is absorbed faster, and there is also less blood flow throughout certain areas of the brain. What the ADHD amphetamines do is slow down the reabsorbtion of the dopamine (it acts as what is called a 'dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor'). it also increase blood flow, and thus brain activity in the desired parts of the brain.

Now, I don't know how it induces ADHD symptoms in non-ADHD people though.

ampheytamines are not dopamine or norepinephrine in hibitors and you are wrong about what they do they inhibit reuptake which means that the dopamine sticks around longer before being reabsorbed so as more dopamine is released you have more stuck to receptors than you normally would

the meth horror stories you hear are about overdoses , over dose as in a very high dosage more than the daily recommended amount (for you because i know your knowledge of pharmaceuticals is completely fucked) methamphetamine is the same chemical as amphetamine but with a methyl group so its more easily dissolved in water which brings up its bioavailability and makes it easier to pass the blood brain barrier i dont feel like looking up the bioavailability of meth and speed so lets just say oral for ampethamine is 60% and oral meth is 90% that means you only need ~20mg of meth to equal 30mg of speed (these numbers arent real) so its alot easier to get to the point where you are completely out of your mind

there is a difference between a reuptake inhibitor and a drug that completely blocks reuptake a reuptake inhibitor reabsorbs a drug something like cocaine or amphetamine completely blocks reuptake which is the reason depression and anxiety are common side effects alot of drugs block reuptake of the transmitters they effect AND NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS CONSIDERED A REUPTAKE INHIBITOR
