I've taken phenylpiracetam with citi-choline a few times, and the effects were amazing. Verbal fluency went way through the roof, and I was able to understand concepts easily. I was called a genius multiple times while using it, and helped my co-workers through some hard coding problems with ease. Definitely not placebo. Definitely a different ball game than modafinil. I wish I could always use it, but I've heard that tolerance develops very quickly.
So far I've always taken it first thing in the morning around 8:00 AM. The effects kick in after about 30 minutes, and they last virtually all day, until around 6:00 PM, when I crash HARD.
Around 6:00 PM I find my cognitive abilities have returned to average levels, but I become ridiculously sad to the point of suicidal attempts. I cut myself with a knife while on the stuff, and went out to the street trying to throw myself into heavy traffic.

Not suicidal, but I remember last time when I took regular piracetam I kept having this thought op in my head about how id like to strangle myself or hang myself. I didn't want to die, I just felt like I should stop breathing at the neck. Squeezing seemed to relieve tension. I think maybe it was a crazy way of realizing I had a lot of neck and head tension? Or I was just going crazy from it. Anyway, I was never going to kill myself, but I can now identify with people who day they got a voice in their head telling them to harm themselves. Crazy, right?

Not crazy. Many people get those thoughts. However, you should always be able to prevent yourself from acting on them.
