| i just orderd some so im not posative yet but i think your sposed to take about 2.5 grams but some people start out with an attack dose since it takes a while to see the actual effects of piracetam. |

| I take 2000mg in the morning and 2000mg at night. It's best to start out on 1000mg/day for a couple of weeks -once a day and then move up to the next higher dose. Possible side-effects of ramping up to quickly include a little nausea which isn't too big of a deal. Good luck, -dk |

| I have found that 2.4-3.6 grams gives me the best effects with no ill sides |

| I take as much as 20 G / day, 2-3 grams in a tall glass of Diet Pepsi, 7 or more times a day. It has a half life if 3 hours, I.e. it maxes about 3 hours after ingestion after which it starts to drop off. Thus taking it every three hours keeps you at a level. Just stop 3 or more hours before bedtime or you won't sleep well. |

| Justine, why do you take idebenone powder ? |

That equates to about 1.2 grams per day, once a day. Some people might feel the effects at this level and others (most) won't. Remember that, like vitamin C, it washes out of your system (water soluble) with the effects peaking about 3 hours after ingestion and gone by 6 hours after ingestion. Try .8 to 1.6 grams every 4 hours. It is very non-toxic and you can literally take 5 grams at a time if you wish. It is often reported that you will not really notice the effect without first consuming an "attack" dosage, anywhere from 4 grams to 10 grams, then take .8 or more grams every 4 hours. I take anywhere from 10 to 30 grams a day and the only negative effects I find are sensitivity to loud / chaotic noise (both my kids talking loudly), however that might be part of my individual response to large doses. Just be careful to stop taking it several hours before bed time because it causes mental stimulation and you won't sleep well until it washes out of your system. |

| In regard to dosage, my 1fast400 container says 1/4 teaspoon is 720mg so 1 full teaspoon would be 2880mg. My question is, is that a level teaspoon or heaped? I have been using heaped (3 times day) and am worried I may be overdosing (possibly diminishing the effects). Cheers, Patrick |

| For those of you piracetam experimentalists out there, what exactly is it doing for you? The main effect I keep seeing is that it "spaces" you out. I don't particularly find this to be a desirable trait. With regards to cognition, does it help with mental calculations, short term memory, memory integration, creativity (VERY SUBJECTIVE IF YOU ANSWER YES), exc??? I've used the racetams on numerous occations due to the enormous amount of positive research out there with regards to lipofuscin and alzheimer's. I always feel "something" when I take it, but I have never been able to pinpoint exactly what that "something" is. I'm in a relatively cognitively-demanding feild of study presently, and I have never found piracetam to be better than a simple cup of coffee for studying or memory recall. Ultimately, I'm curious as to how the racetams effect your cognition? Or do you take it in the same regard as a multivitamin; knowing that it is good for you? |

| 4 caps in the morn is awesome for me, got me through exams with flying colors, CAP IT THO, if you mix it with water or lemonade minor gum recession will occur and can be mistaken for periodontitis. |

| Alright, I'm a total Piracetam/ Bulk Nutrition noob who has to slow things down by asking a question with a completely obvious answer. I bought the 700 gram Piracetam powder. On the container, it says: "Serving size: 2400mg 3-4 times daily" ... "Amount per serving: (2400mg) Piracetam" This, to me, would indicate I would take three servings per day, at 2400 mg per serving. That would be 7200mg daily, or 7.2 grams per day. That seems like alot. And infact, from this very website, the dosage description says: "This would indicate that the ideal dose for memory improvement in healthy individuals is 2.4-4.8 g daily (spread out over 3-4 doses), and this is in line with the clinical data." So, my question is, do I take 2400mg per serving three times a day, or 2400mg over the course of a day? |

| As one poster already menthioned, you have to take a lot, like 10+ grams per day to get any effects. |

| i've been doing 3.5 grams twice a week for two weeks now.. it's starting to kick in nicely now... i've started also over the past few days to add a 1.5 gram dose.. the choline bic is shit.. i even had the alpha gpc or whatever it's called.. wasn't that effective lechthin granules have produced the greatest results for me, wouldn't go with nothing else |

| Jus an update for the other potential newbies! Figuring Piracetam was a relatively benign substance, and not wanting to risk feeling nothing, I went the whole nine yards, taking 2.4g servings three times a day (For a grand total of 7.2 grams per day). I felt it on the first day! I'm ordering Choline to see if the conventional wisdom about synergy pulls through. Thank you everyone who responded! |

| How do you guys take this stuff? if orally, what do you use to combat the nasty taste? If through injection...how are you mixing it before you inject it? with distilled water? are you using needle-less injection? |

| Certainly, this is bitter stuff to swallow down. But I've never found it so bad that I needed to chase it with something. Normally, I just mix it with enough water to fill two shot glasses and down it quickly. |
