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.

This thing about verbal dexterity(vocabulary wise) seriously needs some investigation. I've been experiencing the exact same thing(multiple racetam user as well), as have others it seems. If anyone has any idea what could be causing this deficit PLEASE share you knowledge/theories/speculations.

I assume some sort of inhibition of calcium channels in the language center. That would be my best guess given the limited studies on the matter. It definitely enhances transmission in other ares of the brain, so I feel it has to be region-specific. My other "brain farts" I can attribute to not giving the appropriate level of interest. The language one is definitely a specific issue, though. We are definitely going to need more studies to figure it out.
