Long post, sorry. Oxiracetam: what actually has human evidence behind it, and what is extrapolation from animals?
Most of the popular protocols are borrowed from clinical populations and applied to healthy people without comment.
The comparison group matters more than the compound when the outcome is something as fuzzy as focus.
Sample size, blinding, and who paid for it. Those three questions kill most of the confidence in most of these threads.
Headache is the classic first-week effect and choline usually sorts it.
Anyone got a paper worth reading on this rather than a write-up of a paper?
Most of what is called evidence here is one person, one vial, one month. Irritability was my main issue with oxiracetam too.
Baseline first. Without a baseline the after picture is decoration.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at.
