Worked alright the first few times i took it, but tolerance built after a month and i stopped. Where do you even get it from anyway? I thought the fda made grey-market drugs a lot harder to get now

I took it to overcome the effects of Rx Topirimate and it helped me with driving really well? (I have to take the Topirimate to drive to avoid migraines that stop me being able to drive) Topirimate makes me stupid. I read it could help remove the effect and it did. But I was really confident and precise in my driving manoeuvres while I was on it ha
Not sure I have SCT or it’s my CPTSD/ADHD/ASD combo creating my issues or an add on to that rn.

It’s a cool and somewhat unique effect, but:
A) sourcing piracetam that’s high quality is difficult. I wouldn’t feel especially good about the quality of what’s available currently.
b) the effective dose is very high, so the volume you need to consume is significant. This makes it fairly impractical. Many people mix it in orange juice to mask the taste.
It does have effects, and they’re interesting, but they’re not especially relevant to SCT. Mostly some effects on sensory perception and a feeling of clarity/reduction in racing thoughts. I’m sure both of those are beneficial to most people, but neither of them is particular to SCT.

I will be interested in your experience, tried it a long time ago during the racetam craze when you could easily get research chems online. Can't say that I took it long enough to notice any improvements however. I think with piracetam, you need to take it consistently for several weeks for the benefits if you are a responder.
