Modafinil + Piracetam excitotoxicity?
Original post in this thread

I have heard many accounts of how mixing amphetamines (i.e. adderall) with piracetam is dangerous due to the probability of excitotoxicity, where NMDA receptors are overworked and essentially die.
My question is whether or not there is reason to believe that the same thing could happen between Modafinil (not a traditional stimulant) and Piracetam (or any racetam, for that matter). Modafinil partially has its effects through dopamine and norepinephrine, just like amphetamines, so I'm curious if there is the same risk involved.

I'm not chasing anything, nor am I looking for the holy grail of nootropics. I am curious as how each of these substances functions and interacts with one another. Research can only go so far. One needs to actually feel the effects to get a good idea. My brain functions perfectly well with no supplementation, and I am looking forward to a long break. I've satiated my curiosity, for now at least.
