I believe I’m on day five of Piracetam. So far, so good. It does seem to be boosting things for me, but I might have to bump up my choline. I’m starting to get headaches once in a while that appear related. Granted, they’re very benign, not lasting more than a few minutes at a time. I’ve had a horrible history with headaches. I’ve been put on some serious chemicals solely because I’ve had headaches that lasted several days at a time. Chemicals that can cause complete anesthesia of the extremeties (which really fucking sucks, I might add).

Piracetam is a “memory enhancing”¹ chemical in the “racetam” family of chemicals. It’s used widely by those willing to try new things in order to get an “edge” in the nootropic family of chemicals. It was first manufactured thirty years ago, and to date is one of the oldest known nootropics.

You can currently experience some of the effect of Piracetam by drinking Neuro Fuel, an energy drink sold in the United States. The interesting bit about the Neuro Fuel website is that they cite the gains of taking Piracetam on the web page itself. Of course, the description they give is slightly inaccurate, when compared to the medical journals I’ve browsed on the topic. Still, it’s nice to know they’re not shoving a totally unresearched chemical down your throat, unbeknownst to you.
