Phenylpiracetam-The Best Single Alternative to Prescription Stimulants

Phenylpiracetam is a chemical derivative of Piracetam, first developed in the Soviet Union during the 1980’s. Lately, it has experienced a boom in popularity and usage, with online stores marketing the chemical as an extremely potent cognitive enhancer. The drug is 30-60 times more potent than its parent compound (by mass), affecting a wide array of receptors, including, but by no means limited to: cholinergic, muscarinic, and glutamic receptors. While its pharmacological details is still up for debate, it is currently unscheduled, and, to my experience, enhances memory and boosts cognition significantly.

The 150 mg of bitter (this is an understatement, the stuff was astringent) powder took around 20 minutes (on an empty stomach, of course) to exact any changes. The come-up was extremely clean, smoother than a cup of instant coffee to the dome in fact. The physical effects were minimal- a slight increase in heart beat and a dryer-than-usual mouth, which I suspect was a side effect of placing the powder into my tongue and drinking an entire bottle of water to down it (Seriously, use Gel-caps). The mental enhancement was not.

The come-down from Phenylpiracetam is extremely light as well, failing to result in a “crash”, unless taken at excessive (>10 mg / kg body weight) dosages. No stimulant “hangover” followed the next day. Experimentation also indicated at Phenylpiracetam’s neuro-protective properties, especially in the presence of benzodiazepine agonists such as Alprazolam (Xanax). The cognitive enhancement does not falter with repeated dosage, as do most nootropics.

As one of the first unscheduled nootropics I ingested, Phenylpiracetam deserves its reputation. It has yet to disappoint me- even prescription stimulants quickly result in tolerance and lead down a fast road to addiction. Phenylpiracetam is non-addictive- its pharmacological pathway deviates from Dopamine and Norepinephine, the brain’s “reward levers”.

Final Thoughts

Phenylpiracetam in the long run can greatly improve cognitive functioning, help heal any lingering mental defects as a result of substance abuse, and can provide a wide array of improvements to the brain while under the substances influence. Phenylpiracetam is safe if taken for daily use, although I recommend cycling it as mild tolerance can sometiems build. Always supplement your racetams with a choline source to ensure proper functioning, and until next time, I’ll see you in intelligence!
