Aniracetam

For anyone that has tried aniracetam, what effects do you experience? Does it help with social anxiety? Looking at trying it to help with some presentations at work in the next few weeks.
 
The primary benefit is the anxiolytic effects and is the strongest option for these purposes. I use it specifically for speaking engagements when I need to present to a large audience. It helps with speech fluidity, recall, and compartmentalization which is extremely important in public speaking so you are never searching for words.

That's exactly what I'm looking for in effects. I get very nervous and tongue-tied (and forgetful) during presentations.

How long do the effects last? If I take 750 mg in the morning and afternoon would that pretty much cover the entire day or are the effects pretty short-lived?
 
750mg 2x daily will last all day. It must be taken with a fat source and choline will be helpful as it generally will cause headaches without the choline. It begins working in 45-60 min and will last 5-6 hours but the effects are still there for several hours after, just not as pronounced. The lingering confidence that builds due to the ability to improve your speaking ability and social interactions will continue.

That sounds perfect. Thank you so much!
 
You're welcome and good luck. Aniracetam became my go to noot many years ago and has remained my favorite. For awareness, noopept stacks very nicely with it for improved memory retention, which Ani doesn't help with.

Ani- recall, speech fluidity, thought compartmentalizing, social interaction
Noopept- mental energy, retention, focus

Just ordered a large bottle of aniracetam. I'll try it alone before adding noopept, which also sounds great. Your description of aniracetam seems to meet everything I want. Being stressed and nervous all the time is wreaking havoc on my job and personal life. Hell, I can't even talk to my neighbors without getting tongue-tied and forgetful. Things have been a little better lately though when I added ashwagandha before bed. I'm finally sleeping better. Hopefully the combo fixes things.

The more often you put yourself in the situation the better you will become at it. The ani should help some especially when you are new to the situation.

I agree but I'm not really new to presentations. Have had to do them for my job a few times each month over the last 20+ years. The ones in a couple weeks are just in front of more senior members of the company. Coworkers say I do fine but they don't know about the sleepless nights beforehand, pounding heart during the presentation, etc. Hopefully the aniracetam will help with that.

Ok, yeah it's definitely worth giving it a shot. Report back on your opinions if you have the time.
 
Have been taking it for about a month now. The results have been okay so far. Some improvement in focus and decrease in anxiety. Nothing too drastic though. No change in mood. Has anyone tried stacking it with bacopa? I saw this recommended on another site for mood and memory improvements.
 
Sure, I have but I don't care for bacopa and find the results very underwhelming.

Are you taking Ani with a fat source?

Yes, I take it with breakfast and afternoon snack. Don't get me wrong, I do like it so far. I just read bacopa stacks well with it and thought maybe adding that would make things even better.

I like bacopa. It takes a bit of time of consistent use to really help with memory, but I find that even acute dosing seems to reduce anxiety a little bit and make me more social (wanting to initiate conversations more, and saying more; people have told me I seem more talkative), for me anyway. How did you dose it?
 
How are you guys noting that you're memory is getting better, unless it was noticeably bad in the first place? I just feel like it can be hard to tell something like that.

Sometimes I'll do the online memory type activities (after allowing for some time to become accustomed to how they work, which can skew results), but I'm a civil engineering major, so I regularly have to remember a lot of information and concepts and am tested regularly.

I generally find it very easy to attribute a supplement to recall or retention.
 
Maybe I've just never given anything enough time to work its magic. I liked the idea of Aniracetam but never noticed anything from it. is there anything similar or possibly a safe couple of things to stack? I have lots of speeches this semester and I am horrible at that. I'd like to just take a Xanax and be fine, but I also would like the retention and speech fluidity that some Nootropics can give, but I have a feeling Xanax with Nootropics won't quite work.

I've tried Bacopa and never noticed anything. I've also used Ashwaghanda without much help, I went through a couple months worth of KSM-66.

For speech fluidity and recall I have never found anything like Ani, but you could give pregnenolone a try. There is nothing stronger for memory improvement and is great for social interaction with benefits for anxiety, but aould not be considered an anxiolytic. It stacks nicely with Ani, though.
 
What type of choline does everyone recommend for taking with aniracetam? I haven't tried choline with it yet but I also don't get headaches with leaving it out.
