Nootropic Side-effects and trying to determine what the issue is.

Original post in this thread

SO basically, there's a lot of information out there, and it's hard to consolidate it into what exactly is going on when you take ractams and choline.

For example - I just started taking Oxi-tam(750mg) and Choline Bitarate (1g), and I noticed within about 2 hours, I had a heavy fog, a feeling of depression in my body, and a generally bad feeling.

So I'm wondering - are there any ways, aside from pure experimentation, to at least get an idea what causes these things? For example - does too much choline make you feel drowsy? Does too much piractam without choline give you a mental fog?

Also, I wanted to just thank the people on this thread. I love the community that's formed here.

EDIT: This is currently my stack:

Piracetam (2g/twice daily)

Aniracetam (750mg/twice daily)

Oxiracetam (750mg/twice daily)

ALCAR (250mg/twice daily)

L-Theanine (200mg/daily)

B-Complex (daily)

Fish Oil (2g/daily)

TMG (500mg/twice daily)

Lethargy is definitely the feeling I'm having. Does anyone report having this feeling from specific types of racetams? Mixing them perhaps?

I will say that I undoubtedly feel more focused and clarity of thought, so its not as if I'm getting nothing from the stack.

I did have that feeling when I first started on racetams. B vitamins and trimethylglycine has eliminated it. I used to have to take a 1 hour nap every day at about 1pm when I was on racetams. Now I do not have that issue anymore.
