Aniracetam Wonder

First off I've tried other nootropics with limited success. I used Oxiracetam for a few months but stopped because I wanted to give it a break. It helped with motivation and mood.
I tried it again recently and found it didn't help me as much as before so I switch over to Aniracetam and wow! I bought Aniracetam 6-7 months ago, tried it once but didn't like it. Now Oxiracetam isn't helping and Aniracetam is a wonder drug? I notice depending on your state of mind one nootropic works better then others.. and I must say mentally I've changed a lot (for the good) the past couple years.
It's amazing too -- increased focus, motivation, memory, speech, I'm more awake, more energetic and very surprising, increased libido? I haven't read about this side-effect anywhere else but it's true.
I'm in love with Aniracetam.. for me it's like I drank a cup of coffee without any of the side-effects of coffee. By the way I had coffee with Aniracetam and I was up until late in the morning with way too much focus. I got a lot done that day but it ruined my sleep schedule for the week. I'm not doing that again.
So again one take away I'm getting is depending on a person's state of mind.. one noot…

Now that I think about it.. Aniracetam makes stimulants more powerful, yes? I take l-phenylalanine for increased focus/motivation/mood, etc..it has a side-effect of increased libido as well.
I think Aniracetam is interacting with the l-phenylalanine I take? It's making it more powerful? That makes more sense I think..
If that's the case then this is the high before my brain gets used to the increased dopamine.. :(
Hopefully I get to keep the energetic feeling and speech fluency at least.
Any further input is highly appreciated.

I would agree with that assessment. Dopamine down-regulation is always going to come into play to some extent. This is why it's always good to cycle your nootropics that work on different receptors and receptor sub-types. It's also good to cycle in substances that will up-regulate the various receptors. Dopamine receptors can be up-regulated by uridine, inositol, κ-opioid agonists, memantine, etc.
