Coluracetam Causing Depression?

Original post in this thread

sudojay · 9 points

I've read great things about coluracetam so I decided to try it out. I should say that I've been going through some difficult times personally but had been dealing with them okay. I've been using coluracetam at 15 mg twice a day and since I've been doing that my mood has gone from slightly down to borderline suicidal. When I've taken choline supplements in the past I felt roughly the same. Does it make sense that coluracetam could have the same effect? I realize this is confounded by my personal issues but I appreciate any input from people more educated on this topic than me. Thanks in advance.

My reaction to coluracetam was initially beneficial and beyond what I would consider to be placebo, but with repeated trials it became predominantly negative. Had a similar response to citicoline. Having recently picked up a habit for nicotine in the form of e-cigs I am wondering if it carries a similar risk.

I am also thoroughly enjoying tianeptine, but am donating my current stock to a bipolar friend who I believe needs it more than I.

Those are pretty low dosages. I use 20mg of coluracetam usually.

CDP-choline seems to be the worst for me so far. It gives me depressive symptoms like clockwork. Low doses of alpha-GPC seem to be ok.

Noopept vs coluracetam vs Hydergine vs Citicoline long term benefits, or short term blunders?

Replying to Reese_Witherspork · I'm gonna be the one who breaks that "avoid cholinergics" rule with Coluracetam. The same thing was said about alpha-gpc/citicoline/centro/DMAE and Huperzine-A, but when I stacked

I'll probably be the one that breaks the "Don't take all these new racetams at the same time" rule! We'll confer notes.

Feedback on this Nootropic!

Replying to anworder · I know, I know. I was being facetious. You'll get 750-800mg at most, with something as molecularly dense as Oxiracetam, per 00 capsule - but of course you know that. This whole p

If they don't even know the volume capabilities of the capsules they are using, it makes me wonder just how much else in the product is screwed up. They say they have an 80% ginsenoside Panax Ginseng. That's a higher per

Tianeptine sulfate: Anyone have any stomach problems

Replying to anon10500 · I didn't get this, even with 100mg. /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb can we please tag Tianeptine Sulfate posts with high risk? There are no studies.....

We can tag anything with high risk. However, then the tag loses its meaning. Even FDA approved pharmaceuticals have bad reactions. Just turn the TV on in the US, and I'm sure you'll get a pharma advert with a long list o

Should Ceretropic sublinguals be refrigerated?

None of our sublingual products need to be refrigerated. Any that have the possibility of microbial growth, have an antimicrobial agent in them to prevent it. Cold temps can actually make some fall out of suspension, lik

Expectations are never going to meet reality, the vast majority of the time. People need to really come at this from a curiosity and education standpoint. That being said, grouping all nootropics together does them a di
