I've found the effect to last steadily for most of the day. You could probably do a 20mg/20mg per day dosage as well, but I haven't found it to be needed.

I noticed in your advanced study stack ALCAR was not present, why is that? Also, I've only been taking ALCAR for study purposes because I thought this would be more than enough...2g daily actually. Am I just a noob or wtf. I have posted about a great study stack and ALCAR is what 99.9% recommended at 2g daily.

Thanks for linking that thread. I found everyone's feedback very helpful and look forward to further updates.
My experience with piracetam at 4-5g/day is increased drive and creativity (I tend to think more outside the box) plus elevated good mood. From what I've read on noopept I hope to experience an increased focus/concentration for banging out daily tasks.
When I run out of my current supply of piracetam I'm going to test with ALCAR and noopept based on the feedback they've received. This will be in addition to continued use of focus xt - a solid long-term base for me. Looking forward to the caff-free focus xt for those late evenings of studying before sleep.

i have had these symptoms appear within a month or two of beginning but i have also taken alcar for about a year before they appear.
yes, none that i believe should have these effects or interaction... fish oil, creatine, ubiquinol, and magnesium.
i get the stiff neck which i believe is a sign of too much acetylcholine? this happens with dosages as low as 500mg per day.

Good to hear. I ordered from them a couple months ago, and just have been waiting to finish up my SNS Piracetam before I started using the HardRhino.
I'm thinking the difference in strength is just placebo however.
Sounds like what I'm doing, except noopept + piracetam + alcar. And the caffeine free focus xt is fantastic, have 3 tubs of it myself. I simply add caffeine tabs if I feel a need for them.
Ah, wish I could help you but I honestly have no idea. I know Coop(SNS) does 3months on, 1 month off I believe, but I'm not sure what his exact reason are.
I've never noticed a problem with a stiff neck either. ALCAR, from my understanding, only acts as a precursor to Ach, so while levels should be elevated, it shouldn't reach a harmful level. This tends to happen if too many cholinergics are combined, especially ones that inhibit ach-ase (Hup A).

I was emailing coop two weeks ago about ALCAR and he said at the three month point is when you will definitely notice benefits of ALCAR. He said nothing about three months on one month off, actually he recommended taking ALCAR daily at 1g a day.

This is the quote I have from him
Quite a bit of time. As with all supplements, I like to cycle ALCAR. 2g daily is the perfect dose, though if I plan on doing some heavy drinking, I'll toss back another 2g 30 minutes before my first shot.
Are you using any R/Na-R-ALA alongside the ALCAR? It can't hurt to prevent a pro-oxidative state that could potentially be induced by prolonged ALCAR use.
Anyway, I do 2g ALCAR daily for 3 months then take 2-4 weeks off before resuming use.

I forgot to mention, there have been rumors going around lately that any SNS brand piracetam you can find now, are most likely just "replaced" with lower quality piracetam (makes sense, since SNS only had one run of Piracetam before they discontinued it), and with its white seal removed (the white seal directly under the lid).
This is true for me, because my first tub of the 500g SNS Piracetam from 2 years ago, was just as good as my current HardRhino stash. Previously, I was using my 2nd tub of 500g SNS Piracetam, purchased a few months ago on amazon, and its seal was broken. I still took the risk of ingesting it, since I've heard of others being satisfied with their "broken seal" containers.
Turns out I always needed at at least twice the dose from my 2nd SNS tub, to match the effects of my 1st SNS tub or current HardRhino piracetam.

Nootropic noob here..
I have a tub of SNS choline citrate (1g per scoop), SNS piracetam (1g per scoop), and Source Naturals Huperzine A (200mcg per tab).
What dosages would you recommend for general school/study improvement? I'm looking for increased focus, improved memory, and just a sharper mindset.
If there are any other nootropics you think I should add please let me know, will rep for any help.

Mine and a couple others reports.
So far I really enjoy it, with the only bad side effect being the irritability.

Can some of the more experienced members with nootropics look at the thread I just started and help me out? Thanks.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do this I keep on doing. (Romans 7:15,17-19)

PRAMIRACETAM IS amazing guys! I've been taking it for 2 months so far at doasges of 30-140mg capsuled
Positive Effects
Focus is off the charts
Memory improved big time and I'm able to make deep connections to anything I'm learning
No need for coffee since pram really kicks my brain to hyperdrive everyday
Motivated to do anything I desire
Emotions are not numbed for me but instead I'm like a rock. Nothing phases me and I'm happier than ever.
Made my meditations sessions even better = even better emotional state
Confidence off the charts
Negatives? None besides that it takes maybe a week for the effects to cumulate
