What compares to Fasoracetam in terms of anxiety and mood uplift?

Original post in this thread

EhOhEl · 10 points

Fasoracetam is the first racetam I've tried and I've been taking to for a month now along with alpha gpc and prescribed adderall.

I want to know if anyone has experienced Fasoracetam and other nootropics and found something similar but better.

I've noticed Faso makes me sorta more happy, and reduces the edge to adderall, also it almost seems like it gives me energy or motivation after a good nights sleep.

These effects are sort of subtle and short lived (like 2-3 hours, plus like almost a better rest of the day "glow" after it wears off) though and Faso is quite expensive.

So anyone have something similar? Would another racetam be the next best choice? Or is there something better?

So this is how Fasoracetam both reverses memory issues caused by baclofen and phenibut

I didn't knew that phenibut/baclofen can lead to memory issues, why is that happening and how to prevent from this?

And to summarize what you said, Fasoracetam:

-inhibit glutamate

-upregualte GABA B

-agonise GABA B

yes?

The GABAb agonism does this. This is also why alcohol can lead to memory issues.

And to summarize what you said, Fasoracetam:
-inhibit glutamate
-upregualte GABA B
-agonise GABA B
yes?

No, Fasoracetam activates metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), up-regulates GABAb through an indirect mechanism, and does not directly bind to GABAb at all.

Fasoracetam

Replying to vapefker · > It is NOT directly binding to GABAb, and is not a GABAb antagonist like many state. Thanks for pointing this out, as many people falsely claim it to be. One would assume a GABAb

Fasoracetam does up-regulate GABAb. So it can help with that side of Phenibut tolerance. However, Phenibut also stimulates dopamine receptors and antagonizes β-phenethylamine. So it will not affect those tolerance levels

Wow memantine is great!

Not really, no.
