Hi
So i ordered some piracetam almost a week ago which im still waiting for and Ive finally had an appointment with my doctor. He told me to not try piracetam as it has caused people damage. He says side effects include insomnia and bleeding in the brain and heamorraghes.
Has anyone who has used piracetam had any side effects ever. have any of you,once stopping piracetam, felt that you cant concentrate or focus as much as you could before you ever took any. and could you also state your country please, if you dont mind.
I know about the research of 40 years but still this is worrying. I know its used for treating severe neurological conditions but im worried about the side effects or if my cognitive ability will fall below the baseline after i stop taking it.
Thanks in advance

Okay
Thats true i do usually get nothing from alot of supplements been trying ltheanine and caffiene experimenting yet with doses.
plus waht would you recommend be a good dose. the guy on longecity was taking 400mg but i hear people take 4.6g
also as for healing dr said take vitamin c supps
back to longecity it says something about nmda receptors and glutamate around post 13 plus apparently thai food has alot of it and hes from thailand.
could you explain what it does to nmda, i read about its effect on acetulcholine and gaba(i think) receptors didnt understand much, chemistry and biology not my strong points at all.
Thanks

I like 1.6g for piracetam. Then after a few weeks, I drop it to 800mg.
It is a positive allosteric modulator of the NMDA receptors. That means it increases the activation of the NMDA receptor by endogenous agonists, and also closes the channel before too much calcium passes. It does increase usage of acetylcholine, and is structurally related to GABA.
