It seems most racetams make numb my emotions to the point where it's unbearable, even at fairly low doses. Anything I can do other than not take them?

I have not done a double-blind placebo test yet so there could be other factors, but for the sake of this question, let's imagine it is the racetams doing this. I'll order them from most emotionally-numbing to least:

Nefiracetam

Oxiracetam

Noopept

Pramiracetam

Aniracetam

Sunifiram

Phenylpiracetam

I still take aniracetam daily because, while it does dull excitement and whatnot, it enhances my average mood. The others do not (except phenylpiracetam, that's a fantastic mood-enhancer IMO). Are there any ideas why this happens/what I could do to make it not happen? I've used choline bitartrate and DMAE as a choline source. No effects on this feeling from either. Throw ideas at me!

Would you say the positive effects of racetams are worth the emotional side effects?

At times, yes. Not long term, though.
