Any long term (6+ months) daily users of Racetams or other Nootropics out there? Care to post your stories?

I'm curious about the long term effects of these substances and stacks. If you have been using Noots for a while now and would like to post the good and the bad or even just that nothing went wrong after long term use I encourage you to do so.
I would love to edit this post and document people's case studies with these substances, I see tons of first time experiences but no long term experience posts here or on other sites.

Sounds like you're more than satisfied with your experiments!
How are your experiences with Modafinil and racetams together?

I am not sold on Modafinil yet. It definitely increases wakefulness for LONG periods of time. However, I have been getting a headache from 5pm to 8pm every night. I take half a pill (100mg racemic, or 75mg if I take R-Modafinil), and I still get them. I have not taken it the past 2 days and I have not gotten a headache. I have also ceased all other nootropics during this test week to make sure it was not an interaction. I will take 75mg R-Modafinil tomorrow and see if the headaches come back.
It also makes it hard to get to sleep. Even if I take it at 9am, I cannot get to sleep until 3am. I still need to do some more testing to see. I have another brand coming to test, in case it's a Sun Pharma issue. We'll see.
