It took away my negative thoughts and verbal difficulties and stress. I started taking a lot of it, and eventually decided that I should stop the habitual act Alpha boost because the increased dosage gave me anxiety and actually enhanced my verbal difficulties.. The reaction from stopping it was that I got a little sweaty but overall even quitting was not a bad experience. After stopping Piracetam, I decided that I wanted to take it again but in smaller doses on a once a week basis, and this worked well; except for the fact Piracetam makes some people (like me) tired.
