Piracetam - Wonder Brain Drug

I came across this drug whilst researching another subject matter. Piracetam is a "smart/brain" drug. It enhances brain function by improving the fluidity between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This is a good link for more info on Piracetam. Check it out.

People use Piracetam to cram for exams, improve memory, treat alcoholism, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Personally, these are the benefits I get from Piracetam:

1. Improves my memory
2. Improves my attention span
3. Increases my motivation
4. Dont get too emotional

It basically is like drinking a few cups of coffee without the jitters. Most of the effects are more noticeable during the first few weeks of taking it. After a while, you get used to the effects and it is not so "wow" anymore. I sometimes forget to take it for a few days and life seems a bit duller and slower. Piracetam is not FDA approved but it is not banned in the US either. You can get it via mail order in the US and even through pharmacies in other countries.

I take 800mg pills. Normally 2-3 in the morning and 1-2 in the afternoon. If I take Piracetam any later than 5pm, I find it hard to get to sleep. Initially, I was getting very vivid dreams. Short naps were fantastic! A 10 minute nap felt like a really deep 12 hour sleep.

Driving under the influence of Piracetam was also great. I could focus really well and I see so much more details on the roads like even the texture of the bitumen, details of cars around me and better reflexes. If I need to drive long distances at night, 1-2 piracetam is WAY better than 3 cups of coffee.

If I stop taking Piracetam for a day or two and I hear a "sad" song, I get quite emotional. Normally at night. It doesn't mean I'm a robot when on Piracetam. It's just that random thoughts and feelings intrude more when I am not taking Piracetam. I believe Piracetam helps me in my depression and allows me to focus on more positive thoughts and actions rather than float around in random thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Piracetam also have an effect on my visual and audio senses. I believe my eyesight is slightly better, especialy at night. I also appreciate music more, maybe being able to hear more of the details and melodies.

A friend of mine has a very hectic life with tons of things thrown at him during his workday. He gets anxiety attack when things get too much. After taking Piracetam, he finds that he can now process more information and handles them without getting anxious. My wife who has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), finds that Piracetam helps her tremendously. It helps keep her wild mood swings and perceptions under control. BPD is a very insidious disorder, I will write about it another day....

A new start?

Life is a journey that I have not traveled well lately. Being depressed and unmotivated the last few years (quite a few actually) is not the best of situation to be in. To cut a long story, I have decided to move on with my life in a more positive direction.

Being a father of two young children also adds to my urgency. This blog will be a sort of journal for me. I actually have experienced a lot in the last few years, not good or bad, just experiences that is part of life. I will try to share my experiences, knowledge and view of life..
