> Years ago I bought a tub of Piracetam that felt a little bit like that stuff in the movie Limitless. No Piracetam I bought afterwards felt that way so I wonder if I'd really gotten something more like amphetamine.

Years ago, I bought some Piracetam when I was traveling in Asia. One of my relatives, who's an MD, didn't want me to take it and did some research in actual medical databases. IIRC, he said pretty all the articles praising it traced back to a single study.

It's really understudied in US medicine. In Russia, it's been used for a long time as a general purpose brain enhancer. FWIW

In general though, hasn't it been understudied?
