Thread: Nootropil (generic name: Piracetam)

[size=18]Hello Merckantium

The connection between the two hemispheres are made by commissures. But those ae neorons. I wonder if there are blood vessels also connecting the two hemispheres?

It seems more for elderly people.

I'm also wanting to know if anyone has had some personal experience with using this to increase LD ability either by being able to recall dreams better or possibly having more control once becoming lucid. If I try it I will publish the results here.

Quite an old thread

Any results?

I bought Nootropil this week. According to Thomas Yuschak's book it could even inhibit dreaming when it is still in your system. He writes:

Piracetam inhibits dreaming and the remembering of dreams. Piracetam is not used to enhance dreaming but rather to counteract desensitization and tolerance caused by the other acetylcholine boosting supplements such as Nicotine, Galantamine, and GPC.

Since I conduct some experiments with cholinergic substances myself, I solely want to use it for this purpose. I will post my results.

However: I know a person that has to use Piracetam because of neurological problems. After taking it, he was able to dream again after a long time without any dreams (or at least without any remembering of dreams).

I've used it before a few times, but not enough to notice any real difference. Though I do have a friend who has been using it for awhile and says that it is amazing. But...he's...um "different" so I don't really put too much into some of the things he says.

I have recently started using it for cognitive enhancement, and although one of the benefits is decreased urge to smoke tobacco, I noticed a slight case of insomnia and I haven't recalled a dream since I started using it two weeks ago. I was also smoking the waky stuff, which I know inhibits dream recall, but I have stopped a week ago with no improvement with dream recall. I feel more energy and obviously require less sleep, but it isn't too obvious yet whether or not it's a good thing. I will keep you guys updated. One thing I will say, is that even when taking huge doses of melatonin, it is still hard for me to stay asleep for more than 5 or 6 hours, and I don't feel groggy when waking in the morning, so maybe it is a good thing, who knows? Also, this past week I have been stressed over school and it has caused me to catch a cold, but I get sick about once a year anyway, so that may interfere with my functioning too.

It really sounds pharmaceutical now and scary.
Dreams are natural. If you are taking stuff that needs a
technical pharma layout, you need to get back to your mind IMO.
Health comes first, not drugs.

I am going to be mindful about it, but maybe it takes time to get used to. Like I said, I will post another reply when I finish the bottle to decide whether or not I want to take it.
