Oh, and has anyone comments on “Piracetam Hydrazide”?
I might have read about this earlier but I’m not sure;
Are the effects of Picamilon cumulative? Or does it matter much?
Got my nuerostim in! Should I only dose as it says on the bottle or like 3 caps spread throughout the day?
All at once.
It’s really individual fuzzy, you just have to see how you respond and take it from there.
When people keep talking about bacopa, I keep thinking it says “bacon.”
Is bacon a nootropic?
Bacon is an aphrodisiac.
Evidence for an in vivo and in vitro modulation of endogenous cortical GABA release by alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine.

Abstract
The effects of alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC) on endogenous cortical GABA release were studied both in vivo and in vitro. In freely moving rats, equipped with epidural cups, alpha-GPC (30-300 mg/kg i.p.) increased GABA release. This effect was potentiated by atropine, both systematically administered (5 mg/kg i.p.) and locally applied (1.4 microM), but not by mecamylamine (4 mg/kg i.p.). The alpha-GPC-induced increase in GABA release was abolished in rats pretreated with the alpha 1 receptor antagonist prazosin (14 micrograms/kg i.p.). In cortical slices alpha-GPC (0.4 mM) increased the spontaneous GABA efflux. This effect was abolished by tetrodotoxin (0.5 microM) and prazosin (1 microM), but not by atropine (0.15 microM) or mecamylamine (2.5 microM). These results indicate that the facilitatory response by alpha-GPC on GABA release does not depend on a direct activation of either muscarinic or nicotinic receptors, but suggest the involvement of the noradrenergic system.

Some guy from reddits piracetam log. I haven’t gone through it might provide some info/perspective for anyone interested.

I read through the page. The effects seem unreal. Granted he has documented only nine days of experiences. If I would have those effects I would pretty much claim that I found the silver bullet.[/quote]
He IS taking way more than generally recommended. But the effects he is reporting are (to me) unreal. Would love to hear what you guys think of that.[/quote]
I agree. Seems unreal. I would like to see what would happen if he kept on going like that. I’d also like to hear what others think about this…
I was fired from my job in a Neuroscience lab on Monday. Grrr, but this allowed me to pick up a class entitled NSCI-667 Neuroplasticity. I’ll be sure to share any information I learn.
Anyway, I have dropped Ani and Alpha-GPC. After this little situation I felt as though both were contributing to an increase in emotionality. Both of these nootropics obviously do something to the d1 and possible d2 (dopamine receptor). This has been great for me in “repairing” damage I have done to my dopaminergic system, but now I believe as though the increase in dopamine receptor sensitivity contributes to unstable behavior. (This is just my experience)
Pramiracetam- the thinking man’s racetam. If you are looking for the ability to develop a weird intuition about situations and analyze and dissect every portion of a problem look no further than Pramiracetam. I currently take 200-300mg 1x maybe 2x per day with 300mg DMAE. The results have been astounding. I am currently taking a physics class and the way I can just move the logical steps of the problem in a graceful manner is something I will not give up any time soon. Logic and reason is the name of the game with this racetam. Wish I had this while taking Organic Chem I. It also seems to calm me down and provide focus.

Thanks for the input and sorry to hear about the job situation, sounds like you’ve got everything under control.
Am I the only one that thinks neuroplasticity should be changed to neuroelasticity?
When I think of plastic, I think of something that isn’t able to change (shape) very well, and the opposite for elastic.
Am I missing something here or is it just the way it is?
Prami is seems very interesting, how long have you been taking it? I’m also doing very numerical/logical classes (largely pure mathematics) so this sounds useful. Have you found it helpful with ‘concept learning’ and application?
Currently I use Piracetam/Choline Bitartrate/ALCAR daily as Ani doesn’t seem to agree with me.
However, due to upcoming exam periods I am interested in improving focus for study sessions. Does anyone have experience with any substances for occasional use in this area? Ideal usage would be maybe 1-2 times a week over the next few months.

elastic might signify a fairly quick return to previous states, wheras ‘plastic’ signifies lasting, yet fluid, changes.
To me, anyway

Duly noted Sir. So the emphasis is on ‘reshaping’ the brain so-to-speak. That makes more sense.
As per usual, thank you BBB.

Sorry to hear about the job, but good work on the feedback.
I also like prami, but wish I had more fatty meals to take it with, ha.

Generally, I take my ani with about 4-5 fish oil caps, and whatever fat is present in my protein. Is this inadequate?

I like pramiracetam the best now. I feel more stable- less emotional. If I can’t remember an answer then I can logic it out (very helpful with physics). My memory is still improving though.
For focus I really like oxi. Oxi has a great 1 time hit kinda deal, but be prepared to nap 2 hrs after taking it. Otherwise the active ingredients in Biotest Spike will do the trick. I also like pyritinol but that lost its effectiveness really quick.
If I am taking Pram i have to be really careful about the stimulants I was using. I seem to be very sensitive to caffeine while on it. Pram + DMAE seems to be doing it for me. After the pram wears off ill do oxi and ALCAR and some caffeine.

Thanks BBB. I’m still getting recommendations and stuff so its not all bad. I really hope to get one of these summer research scholarships I applied for.
Anyway, are you experiencing any of this superhuman ability to apply logic while taking pramiracetam? This is one strong racetam, I generally only need to dose once per day.

Thanks, I was considering oxi so this is useful. My only reservation with it is that it seems to be used best for rote learning of data. However prami sounds almost perfect! Possibly a combination of the two might help as I understand Prami potentiates other racetams.
I haven’t heard of pyritinol but I’ll look it up, when you say loses effectiveness do you mean it ‘wears off’ quickly or the per dose effect diminishes over time?
Hey brain people.
For learning languages - what’s the best acetam for retaining it…
Need to learn German in 3-4 months for my job - if I want to be promoted.
Many thanks.

Very interesting what you said about ani, pram and emotions. Would you say the effects are/were subtle or fairly noticeable? Also, with being less emotional, do you mean that you less ‘negative’ emotions only, or are you still able to have ‘positive’ emotions in a similar way?
