Piracetam stack

[13uddh4]

So I've recently been taking Piracetam in order to help with my memory. I had an accident when I was a child that I received a concussion from. Basically my memory issue was like this: difficulty remembering what I was doing, forgetting where I was going, thinking it was a different time or day, and if I had locked my door.

I've been taking:
-Piracetam (3,200-4,800mg [3.2-4.8g])
-Choline (930mg [.93g])
-Theanine (Not sure, drinking 4 cups green tea though)
-Theobromine (Not sure, eating 2 grams 70% caco chocolate bar. The cacao also has some form of Choline in it, I read it somewhere.)
-DMAA (40mg)
-Caffeine (100mg, not including coffee)

I've been taking the Piracetam and Choline (caffeine as well through coffee) for 8 months, and have noticed a nice turn around in my memory. It took around 2 months before I noticed (yea, see...memory issues LOL) that I wasn't forgetting that much anymore. I added Theanine and theobromine (after reading that they help elevate GABA, which in return would help improve the effectiveness of Piracetam) last week. I'm noticing I'm experiencing a more focused attitude, like while the Piracetam is active in my system, when I am either learning something or actively doing something. I also feel as if I'm a tad bit more articulate now that I've added these to taking my Piracetam. Not that I wasn't experiencing all this before with just the Piracetam and Choline, but I can definitely tell that L-Theanine (from green tea) and Theobromine (from chocolate) are definitely working in synergy with the Piracetam.

I'm considering adding DMAA to the list and lowering caffeine down. Is there anyone that can help me to understand DMAA a little more. Like side effects, how they started your dosages. Any help would be great. I've only looked at the Wiki article so far, on it just now...and I see two US soldiers dying caused the US Military to conduct a "military investigation".

DMAA is great I'm actually on 100mg + 350mg Caffeine Anhydrous - Feels awesome everytime

I've noticed that while on DMAA I am displaying more anti-social symptoms than I normally do. It reminds me of how I would feel while taking Adderall (considering I'm taking Piracetam/Choline/L-Theanine), focused and a bit of energy however easily agitated by people and the want/urge to be left alone to study/work.

I'm likely going to discontinue my use of DMAA and look for an alternative stim.

So I'm considering adding Picamilon to my stack. Not due to my stack not being effective enough for me, but improvements are always welcomed. If anyone could tell me if Picamilon would adversely effect my L-Theanine or the current functionality of my stack it would be appreciated. I believe I read some where that Picamilon can be very beneficial to a Piracetam stack, so I want to give it a shot. However I think I have also read that it causes tiredness/calmness which isn't necessarily a problem however L-Theanine has also been reported to do such (note: it hasn't done that to me yet) so I am wondering if they were taken together would they work in synergy or would those effects be potentiated ?

As a side note, I have stopped taking DMAA. I was beginning to experience heart burn, chest pain, agitation, and anti-social tendencies. The Anti-Social bit wasn't a main issue, I've been combating that for a long while now, but the heart burn and chest pains was a cause of worry for me, considering I've already been warned by my physician to be careful with my heart as apparently it is "stressed". My grandparents have all had heart attacks too, so yea....not going to risk it for a few hours of pep.

I see why you use Piracetam and Choline sources together. I was reading about how they are synergistic with each other at the Smart Drugs for Thought webpage "What is Piracetam?" It seem that Choline increases the production of the (ACh) neurotransmitters while Piracetam stimulates and improves the functions of the (ACh) receptors which are implicated and compromised in the memory processes. Have you tried using Alpha GPC or CDP choline instead of the plain choline source?? If so, what was the results?

Yea and distressing. I haven't experienced any chest pains or heart burn since discontinuing the use of DMAA. Not sure how many others have experienced this, I have a bad heart so I am going to go out on a limb and just think that I was an isolated case.

I've used Alpha GPC a bit when I was first starting to take Piracetam and I did notice a nice boost from it versus the Choline Bitartrate however the price was just too much for me. Bitartrate is effective and cost efficient and as a student I can't really be too picky with what supplements I can take.

I looked over Smart Drugs for Thought's website, primarily the Piracetam Research page (gotta love research lol) and saw that they had a downloadable PDF containing a lot of nice information regarding Piracetam as well as the other Racetams. Good looking out on that one by them! I wish I had found it earlier in my search for hard details and facts on Piracetam, would have saved me a whole bunch of time on Yahoo and Google searches LOL!

I'm considering adding Aniracetam to my stack by the middle of this month. I've seen in mentioned in numerous places that Aniracetam and Piracetam stack together very nicely. Considering Piracetam helps you recall things that you "already know" and Aniracetam helps you "absorb new things". At least that's what I've gathered from reading about it...I could be mistaken however.

I am 26 and don't currently have any memory issues but I want to attain more focus in the area of studying. How long do you guys think do the effects kick in?
