Hi forum,
I'm not sure what condition I have but there's a strong Anxiety component. Piracetam is not the best drug in the world, but I'd take it forever. Can it be taken forever? It can lower anxiety. I've been on Noofen but, it's not very good for long-term, or I messed up somewhere.
Antidepressants do not apply too since tricyclic and paxil-like do not affect me anymore.

However my main question is about Piracetam, I'd take it if it is possible.
Thanks in advance.

Today patients should always think since doctors don't want to tell you even 30% of info you should know.

Hi

First of all welcome to the forum you will find good support here.

I have never heard of Piracetam so can't comment on that specifically but maybe some of the other members will be able to offer some input.

You say the tricyclic and ssri's don't work for you anymore have you tried any of the SNRI's such as Cymbalta or Effexor? Or Mirtazapine is another good option.

Thank you for the welcoming word. I've tried Mirtazapine, but I think it slowed me down alot, or I made a mistake by switching from 15 to 30 or from 30 to 45 mg (afaicr), or disturbed "clocks" by daily dose changing. Anyway it may be worth retrying.
I hope someone knows about Piracetam, since many know/tried Noofen and weren't happy after some time.

Hi GD,

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble finding the right Rx for your management needs. I know how frustrating this must be. sad Do you currently see a psychiatrist? This doctor would be the most knowledgeable in psychotropics...so if at all possible, see about getting a referral if you can!

As far as your question...not all supplements are found to be helpful for the majority of people...and not all are created equal...so definitely give it a shot, but find a good source...

...and don't give up hope of finding an Rx that will be your best fit. It may just take some more time and perseverance.

How about therapy and self help too? Have you tried both of these beneficial management tools? You can get started by checking out our Resources at the top of the main forum page here...

...and talking to your doctor about a therapy referral if you've not done so thus far.

Keep posting with us anytime for sharing and support! smile

Scaredy Cat, t.y.! so I visited a doctor recently. I was told that nootropics are forbidden in Israel. I can't believe that, but some search tells something. Anyway I should definitely change a doctor.

I'm still curious about Piracetam though.

My current drugs are L-thyroxin, Omega-3 aimed at CNS and Diazepam. Antioxidant is also worth considering. And of course, self-help=socialization is what I always try to start, but it always doesn't work out.

I do hope that you find the right regimen for yourself! My niece really likes Phenibut's benefits for her anxiety...but as I said, everyone is different...so you may just need to go about some trials for your own best management plan.

Keep up with the self help. The more you practice, the better they work...and it will become second nature with persistence.

Continue to post with us if you find it helpful. We understand, care and support is key!
