Piracetam stopped working

Hi r/nootropics,
About half a year ago I tried Piracetam for the first time. After a few days taking about 2g daily I started to notice really pleasant effects. The main thing was that talking to friends or colleagues was sooo much easier and better. I came up with the perfect word combinations in milliseconds. Before this was definitely a problem for me. Sometimes and especially in situations where I didn't feel perfectly comfortable in I often had trouble coming up with words. That was all gone at that point. I don't know if this was due to reduced anxiety/increased self-esteem or if piracetam really made a difference in how my brain functioned. I didn't really care, because what was important for me was that it worked! That lasted for about two weeks and after that the effects became more and more rare until they disappeared completely.
I know this sounds a lot like placebo but I'm pretty convicend that it's not. I ordered piracetam in the first place to help me at work/university and to improve memory and cognition. I didn't even know that it can help with social skills/anxiety whatever you want to call it. I found out about that later. Also those improvements were so profou…

Do you mind discussing what sort of dosage and how often you tend to use it? It has a crazy long half life.

Yeah, it has an 80 hour half life. So it builds up in the system.
I start with 5mg a day for a few days as an adjustment period. Then I move up to 10mg per day. That is as high as I have gone for regular use, since I am not on amphetamines. Other people have gone as high as 40mg per day, paired with their amp dosage. That's a bit overkill for me, though.
