Just recently I was on Piracetam for the first time during two weeks, taking about 2x 4800 mg/day.
On the third day I had just taken my full dose of 9600 mg along with 600 mg of Alpha-GPC and 100 mg caffeine. I then noticed that a muscle on the tip of my nose started twitching intensively, usually for several minutes in a row.
This phenomenon was frequent during the following weeks as I continued experiment with Piracetam. I also had other light muscle contractions and twitches in other parts of the body, and although this is something I normally get from time to time, I believe the frequency and regularity of affected muscles increased.
About 1.5 week ago I layed off Piracetam because of X-mas (supposedly to reincrease my tolerance to alcohol and being a time to rest my cognitive faculties). The twitching in my nose continued even after taking a break from Piracetam, but seems to have stopped just two days ago.
Question: Since Piracetam is prescribed as a medicine against muscle contractions, is there any possibility that it may in fact be causing these twitches for me? Should I be worried?
Could it have been the combination of Piracetam with Alpha-GPC and Caffeine that started this reaction? I should note that I have only supplemented Alpha-GPC and CDP-Choline at a few occasions, primarily in the beginning when I was concerned about headaches. Later on I found out that Piracetam doesn't give me any headaches at all, and thus there was no real need to take the extra Choline.
