Hey,

just ordered 10g as the mental benefits seems to be fantastic based on the reports... but from those of you who have been using it I'm wondering how bad the libido reduction actually is ? I've noticed the libido dropping rather quickly on other medication, i.e. a couple of different SSRI I used earlier due to anxiety. Knocked the libido right into the floor. Same with serotonin supplements like 5-HTP, although not as bad as on SSRI. This is the last thing I want from a nootropic drug, and a reduction will be unacceptable to me.

Anyway I'm still hoping this won't be a problem on noopept.. although a quick google search looks rather negative :/ Seems like there are a lot of people reporting libido problems.

Input guys?

libido problems and increase in anxiety take me away from this nootropic .

when i meet girl normaly i ready to do but with noopept felt like i not ready ,hard to explain like it come from mind not from organ.

pushpull, can get a hit it would usually depend on the dose you take, or at least that was for me. Try starting small with 5mg to 10mg 2x a day, and see what happens. For me the libido drop happen on the 3rd day of use; strangely enough on the first 2 days my libido went to the roof. If you expirence a drastic drop you can stop it, and will return to normal in about 2 days; therefore, perhaps taking the weekends off will be a good idea.

Now, if you still want to try this nootropic then consider adding some test booster: tribulus terrestrus, long jack, and/or maca.

hey, appreciate the feedback. From what I've been reading it seems like everyone get these libido side effects regardless of dosage. Am I right ? In that case this nootropic won't be part of my stack no matter how good it might make me feel. When I was on SSRIs for about 2 years I always kept a viagra in my pocket whenever I went into a situation I possibly could end up having sex. So happy to be passed this, it made me feel like less of a man. So I'm not going back there for sure. Sucks I didn't do proper research on side effects before I ordered 10g.

I noticed a drop in libido from ~20-40mg a day, but it was nowhere near as much as what I noticed from piracetam and aniracetam.

A bit of a dealbreaker for long-term use, though I can tolerate it for very occasional study sessions.

strange, I get no drop in libido on Aniracetam or Piracetam. But on the 3 different SSRIs I tried I did (rapidly). I noticed the same when trying 5-HTP for a couple of weeks.

Guess I will give Noopept a go and see how I react down there

[sapaiderman]

Doh! I've got Noopept on order and I was eagerly awaiting its arrival until I read this post!
I will try it at 10mg 1x per day and see how it goes...

I think it might be a good idea for someone to make a sticky thread that lists the potential positive effects and the potential side effects of each Nootropic. Searching through endless posts is very time consuming and I always seem to find the negative posts after I've ordered!

i've been on it for 4 months, pretty regularly, started by taking 10mg 2 or 3 times a day, now just 10mg once. no libido problems whatsoever. i'm male, fyi.

Good to hear someone are not experiencing libido problems on Noopept Mr. Pink, cause if you google or search these forums it sure looks like the majority do get problems.

Anyway, I got my Noopept last night, and went down to the city today to try to locate a scale measuring in mgs. First I stopped by various ordinary shops, and they were all looking weird at me when I asked for a weight measuring mg's (probably thinking I was gonna measure cocaine or something, dunno). So I figured out I had to go to a "growshop" selling equipment for weed people, and I bought the most expensive scale they had - although it only measures 10mg at a time. Fine I thought, as long as it's accurate.

Measuring turned out to be really difficult, as the scale is nowhere close to reliable. I put some powder on it, nada, add some more and it says 0.05g. I remove a tiny bit and it's down to 0.00g again. So I ended up eyeballing a dosage (something I never thought I would do such a potent racetam, but I really want to see how it works) based on the picture in this thread. That was 2 minutes ago so we'll see.

Gonna return the scale, try to locate someone selling a scale measuring actual mgs (not just 10mg at a time) and I will keep the thread updated on the libido.

And yeah, people complain about the taste, but since we are barely taking any amount at all per serving I couldn't care less about that.

I am taking it irregularly for 4 months no (between 5mg and 50mg per day, but usually ~10mg) and never experienced any libido issues.

i posted a pic around here showing dosages compared to a penny. that should help eyeball. 10mg looks bigger than i thought it would. but i ended getting a scale from ebay for $12 that was accurate to 1mg (.001 g). It's pretty accurate, because the tray i use to put the noopept on weighs almost exactly the same amount day in day out. but that's what you need, something that is good to weigh .001 g if you want to get anything near accurate for measuring 10mg.

yeah very nice of you to post the pic indeed, I'm sure a lot of people order Noopept without having an accurate digital scale available. So this is a good start. While the picture gives me a certain indication it's slightly harder because we don't use the same currency as you guys, also it's not that easy to see if it's evenly spread out or how much is on there in height.

I ordered a Diamond 20g/0.001g pocketscale on ebay for 14 UK pounds last night, hopefully it should be here in 1+ week. It was about 1/10 of the price for the non-working 0,1g scale I bought in the city

Mr. Pink: What about breaks in between on Noopept? I've read the russian scientists recommended 3 months on / 1 month off. What's your take on that ?

[pushpull]

Initial response to Noopept: Nothing major except I do think I notice a certain relaxing anti-anxiety effect here. Took it once yesterday and then this morning. Although I won't be able to tell properly the amount I'm taking, or play around with different dosages, until I get my digital scale. Kinda racing thoughts when I went to bed last night but that might be random.

Currently trying out:
2 x 150mg Alpha GPC
2 x 1200 Aniracetam
2 x 800mg Piracetam
2 x 10-15(?)mg Noopept

Still rock hard / no libido problems so far.
