Hello All. Here's some background information: I'm 25, Male, and relatively healthy. My interest in Nootropics stems from doing things in my past that have left me at times foggy in the head, and overall not nearly as quick witted as I use to be. I've just recently (<2 months ago) learned about Nootropics and their effects. After doing quite a bit of research I decided Noopept and Piracetam would be a good place to start. I later bought Phenylpiracetam and tried it out also.
My problem is that each of these, individually as well as in combination with each other, seem to have the exact opposite effect on me that other people report. Now I have heard of Piracetam not being effective for everyone, but not counter-effective. After a week of just Piracetam (4.8g 3x daily) use I found my head much foggier than usual. I would have quite a problem figuring out what word I wanted to use, or how to word something. I also found that my coordination was suffering. I was running into corners, tripping on things I was trying to step over, and making way more typpos than normal. I wasn't perfect before but I never tripped on things, and my typpos were somewhat rare.
I then decided to give Noopept a shot.. I should mention over the week that I was doing Noopept, I tried a vareity of doses and roa's. First, I tried 10-30mgs sublingually, then attack doses of 100mg sublingually, then 10-30mgs and 100mg doses snorted. Regardless of the amount done, or how it was done I never felt a difference. That being said, I did feel a slight difference from the Noopept itself. It made be dumb, for lack of a better term, but also very conversational. I wanted to talk to everyone, but lacked the verbal skills necessary to do so. I was essentially a caveman at that point, excited to talk to people but unable to form coherent sentences without excessive; Uhhhs, ummms, and buts.
Next I purchased ALCAR and decided what the hell, I'm going to do 4.8G's Piracetam 3x daily, 10-30mg Noopept 3x daily, and throw in 2G's of ALCAR in the mornings. By the end of that week I was a mess. I suppose it was anxiety I was feeling constantly. I've never been very anxious about anything, instead normally being a very laid back individual that takes things as they come. During this week however, the very though of saying "Good Morning" to my fellow co-workers in the morning, whom I've worked with for 3+ years, was a daunting task. I talked to almost no one and essentially became a recluse. My work suffered terribly, this started when I first started with the Piracetam, as I also lost the ability to focus on an individual thing, all motivation, and the thought processes neccessary for some of the work I do.
I then, for some reason I still don't understand, decided to buy 5G's of Phenylpiracetam, thinking, I suppose that this was the one that would work for me. Short story, it didn't. Slightly longer story, I took 100mg in the morning, followed the exact routine I've done for quite some time, and 2 hours later, while at work, I almost fell asleep. It didn't feel like I was crashing at all, just like my body suddenly realized that I completely forgot to sleep last night, which wasn't the case. I decided to drink an extra cup of coffee that day to reverse this tiredness, but the coffee did absolutely nothing for me, a very odd thing for me.
I then decided to the next day to do all four things together, ALCAR 2G's, Piracetam 4.8G's, Noopept 15mgs, and Phenylpiracetam 100mgs. The result was the exact same as doing just Phenylpiracetam. 2-2.5 hours later I had 0 energy and could think of nothing but sleeping.
Has anyone had or heard of anything like this from these substances? I know I'm a weird individual but all I can find is crazy positive reviews of all these substances. I've purchased all my Nootropics thus far, from NSN as I had an aweful experience with LiftMode. They have 3rd party COA's on their website so I'm pretty confident that I've recieved legitimate forms of these substances.
I'm considering purchasing Phenibut, and yes I know it's like crazy addictive. I'm not one that easily gives into addiction and don't intend on taking it more than once a week, more of a Friday Fun Day type of thing. I'm wondering if the same things that cause Nootropics to not work for me might also cause Phenibut to have negative or zero effects for me.
Sorry for the long post, this took me quite a while to write as I kept doing other things, not important things, just things. Let me know if anyone has questions. Thanks.
