IMO this stuff works. I take the recommended dosage (2400mg 3-4x/day) with a little choline bitartrate. I have had some interesting experiences while using this...
For one, I was driving in the most hellacious thunder storm with rain coming down in sheets, 30-50 MPH winds, lightning, etc...in a work zone... at night...with oncoming traffic (18 wheelers, etc...) on a two-lane highway. I was able to maintain complete focus and not freak out (because I couldn't see shit and couldn't pull over). In general, I find it helps a lot for night driving while fatiqued...it makes it much easier to concentrate.
Also, on a daily basis, I find that I can come up wth more creative solutions in my job, which can be very mentally demanding (I'm an attorney). Further, I am much more at ease in court and the thoughts/ideas come to me easier. I find that I am more witty as well...the connections between thoughts/ideas seem more clear and I notice irony, conflict and the juxtaposition of ideas more quickly.
I have tried oxiracetam and found it to be less effective and waaaay too expensive. Try piracetam with OJ and it isn't as bad. I also cap it to make it portable. IMO, you will not feel piracetam unless you are putting your brain under load... with studies or work. But, when you do...you will be surprised at how smart you feel. It is definitely worth the $$. |
