Piracetam. . . ?

[TheFerret]

I've found a lot of reports around the internet about Piracetam's ability to amplifies the effects of amphetamines, alcohol, and more importantly LSD, psilocybin, and MDMA. I confirmed the effects of Piracetam with the latter two on myself. But what I'm also curious about is if piracetam has the ability to protect the brain from MDMA neuro-toxicity. I've found little bits and pieces here and there that suggest it does, but nothing really substantial.

"One study described the benefits of piracetam in this way: "In animal models and in healthy volunteers, the drug improves the efficiency of the higher telencephalic functions of the brain involved in cognitive processes such as learning and memory. The pharmacology of piracetam is unusual because it protects against various physical and chemical insults applied to the brain. It facilitates learning and memory in healthy animals and in animals whose brain function has been compromised, and it enhances interhemispheric transfer of information via callosal transmission. At the same time, even in relatively high dosages it is devoid of any sedative, analeptic or autonomic activities." [7]

One site talked about how piracetam protects alcoholics from damage to their brain's from chronic alcohol abuse, and some others suggested protection from MDMA neuro toxicity, but none had references to back them up that I could find.

I've come across other quotes but can't find the sites I saw them on.

Anyone able to shed some light on this? ::coughcoughSpicecoughcough:: ;-)

Thanks in advance

One of the main rules when taking drugs is dont mix them . Anyone who needs to "amplify" the effects of LSD , Psilocybin or MDMA either hasnt got those substances , or has not taken enough , or has taken to often without a long enough break between doses or needs to see a doctor . Your body is a temple if you treat it right , its not a chemical dustbin . You have one brain and one life so dont fuck them up by abusing them . Piracetam is good if you take a cource of it without taking other drugs at the same time , and yes it can repaire damage if you do it right . But it wont stop the damage being done if you mix it with things that damage you . It will fuck you if you mix it with other things that work in an oposite direction . A bit like weight lifting when you are fasting . And dont take high doses , then it fucks you to = taking more to avoid / repair the side effects of taking to much .

The only thing I really combine with those substances is cannabis, and I'm not just tilting my head back and dumping whatever substances I come across down my throat. And it's not as though I'm immune to experiencing MDMA or LSD without adding piracetam or anything else to the mix.

I'm just curious about the MDMA neurotoxicity. I'm not overly concerned about it to the point that I'm not going to roll, but at the same time if there are simple things I can do to minimize it (vitamins C & E, possibly piracetam), I feel like preserving my brain is important enough to be taking those steps.

So I think you misunderstood the motivation behind my question
