Agreed... you definitely need a
choline source for these, tho it doesn't take much. I usually get the
lecithin softgels you can find in the drugstore and take 1 (1200 iu) with my nootropics. Also...
aniracetam and
piracetam work really well together. My fave combo for daily use is 2 "00" caps stuffed with
piracetam and 1 or 2 "00" stuffed with
aniracetam, along with a
lecithin softgel. Alternatively, the
lecithin can be substituted with
choline bitartrate -
one "00" full (about 650mg).
If I take another dose later in the day, I will take more
lecithin with it.
Piracetam may have minor synergy with amphetamines, so you are correct in starting with low doses.
Without the
choline or
lecithin, these can leave you feeling spacey and edgy. With
choline or
lecithin - they improve focus, reduce stress, improve verbal coherence, and even improve posture (yep, there are even studies that demonstrate this). I personally think
aniracetam is a wonderful substance.
Oh yeah,
one more little thing...
aniracetam is FAT SOLUBLE, not water soluble like
piracetam, so it doesn't mix well with water, but requires capping. Also, the
lecithin, which is an emulsifier, will help to digest it, whereas if you use
choline, you might also want to add something fatty to it, too... milk, for instance, or take it with a meal.
