Have Been Taking It for Almost 2 Weeks Now

DOSE:
2.5 - 3.5 g oral Piracetam (daily)
      Vitamins - Choline (daily)
BODY WEIGHT: 120 lb
2 Weeks on Piracetam

I started out with low doses, sporadically taken since I was with a friend when he as dosing. Initially: <500mg since I wasn't too certain on whether there would be negative effects. On other substances, I've experienced very intense states that were overwhelming for me, sensory hallucinations when I smoked a LOT of marijuana at 18 yrs of age.

After the initial dose, I experienced a sort of visual/ sensory acuity. Sort of a rush of visual stimuli. (I had been watching videos)
I did some research and proceeded to order my own, and have been taking it for almost 2 weeks now.

2.5-3.5 g daily distributed between 2-3 dosages, plus a choline source at 1:3 ratio. I stack with omega 3.

Also, I have a tendency to suffer from very low and debilitating moods, for months- years at a time. Deep depressions, as well as elated highs. (I might be “bipolar”, but I've never seen a psychiatrist, nor do I believe in prescription drugs for depression/anxiety, etc.) Since I’ve started, I have noticed only positive effects (except for dry lips), my mood is stable. Actually, probably above baseline. All sorts of stimuli seem to be intensified. Listening to music, singing, drawing, painting, reading. Everything is more acute, more interesting, and my energy and concentration has increased. It’s also easier to lose weight, I have increased energy during workouts (probably just because my focus is increased, and I don’t think about being tired). And I don’t crash throughout the day.

It’s improved my psychological state- mood, sense of overall well-being. I am able to focus purely on the moment, rather than any other abstruse occupying thoughts. Also, I've experienced an increase sex drive, though I am not certain if Piracetam can be accounted for that. Perhaps it is the choline. Or just an indirect effect of the psychological state that Piracetam puts me in.
Either way, I don't think I will stop taking it. Maybe I will cycle it just in case.
