Phenylpiracetam potential as an antidepressant?
Original post in this thread

I've been using phenylpiracetam on and off for a few weeks, ~100mg sublingually, and I've noticed that aside from an increase in energy, it seems to lift my mood. I don't feel manic, elated, or any of that, I just feel good. I took ~100mg 3x today to combat my MDMA comedown and I've felt essentially normal all day. I've also used it to completely eradicate alcohol hangover symptoms (mainly the depressed, apathetic state they leave me in). Has anyone ever looked into phenylpiracetam as an antidepressant? Is there enough known about the compound to have any idea how it could improve my mood? I've heard other people report the same thing.

I notice it going both ways. Some days it uplifts me, and some days it makes me irritable. It's basically phenylethlamine and piracetam merged into one molecule. It probably builds tolerance to the stimulation fairly quickly, like PEA. I don't take it often enough to let it build up.
