In reply to Anyone tried Piracetam, Pyritinol or Piroxicam??, posted by rod on July 21, 2003, at 15:04:54
I tried Piracetam about 8 years ago after reading the first Smart Drugs book. While it is not available in the US (hence no insurance coverage), it can be purchased from overseas companies and shipped to the US using the FDA's personal use exemption.
At the time, I added it to Prozac, and it was a WONDERFUL addition. My energy level increased dramatically and it seemed to augment or work synergistically with the SSRI, so that I felt the best I had felt since before my depression kicked in. I was taking 600mg 3 times per day. It has a short half-life. I took it for approximately 6 months.
Unfortunately, even though it is relatively inexpensive (if bought in bulk), I didn't have the money to continue it. Prozac never worked as well by itself. I've thought about purchasing it again, but haven't done so.
If someone is BiPolar, I would strongly reccomend that a reliable mood stabilizer is in place before taking Piracetam.
