Does anyone know about Piracetam and how it can treat Nocturnal Myclonus? I cannot find a drug for this disorder that doesn't make me nauseated :( Hopefully this is the right place for this question

Someone recommended Piracetam to me but IDK.

I have a severe case of Nocturnal Myclonus (Periodic Limb Movement Disorder). I developed it a year ago and it is driving me insane. My doctor says lots of people get stomach aches from anit-convulsants and we just have to keep trying different drugs till something works. Meanwhile I am exhausted and sleep deprived, because the involuntary muscle spasms wake me up and prevent me from having REM (restfull) sleep. THe last drug I tried was Pramipexole and it made me throw up every morning and my headache refused to go away until about 1 pm

Any suggestions drug nerds? Perhaps a drug with few side effects

Try posting on /r/Nootropics.

You might get results from etizolam. Have you tried a bioavailable magnesium supplement like L-threaonate or glycinate? That might help as well.

How long prior to MDMA should you take your pre-load? (multivitamins, magnesium and antioxidants)

**-Fully chelated magnesium glycinate.** Doctor's Best brand is good. Most brands are shit. (Dose 400mg before and during) **-Alpha lipoic acid.** You can either get racemic ALA, which is still good. Or you can get full
