Possible allergic reaction to piracetam?

I ordered 125 mg of piracetam from Nootropics Depot and started using it as part of a small stack:
200 mg l-theanine
100 mg caffeine
1.2 grams piracetam powder
I had been taking l-theanine and caffeine for about two weeks with good results, then added the piracetam about four days ago. About three days ago I developed an extremely itchy rash on my chest and back, which has spread to my shoulders and face (but, oddly and thankfully, not to my lower body). I've stopped taking the piracetam, continued with the l-theanine and caffeine combo and started a short steroid regimen prescribed by my doctor for the rash, but haven't seen much improvement yet.
Anyone have a similar experience? Or can you speculate as to the possibility that it's a belated response to the l-theanine?

It's really difficult to tell if it's from Piracetam or what, but basically I have a red, rash on my arms, legs, and armpits. It could be from sweat, but I've never ever had it before. Nothing like this. The only reason I could possibly have for blaming Piracetam is that it occurred the same week as I started taking it again.

That's interesting. Have you tried to add it back in to see if the rash comes back?
