Same here.
Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all? Not on aniracetam but the pattern is familiar.
Reconstitution arithmetic is only half the problem. The other half is what was in the vial.
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes. Vivid dreams was my main issue with aniracetam too.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Read methods.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Most of the popular protocol is borrowed from a clinical population and applied to healthy people without comment.
Where does the human data stop and the extrapolation begin? That is the whole thread. Eight months in on aniracetam and it lines up.
Loose evidence is not nothing, but a washout either side is the only reason to trust your own take.
Baseline first.
What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero? Vivid dreams was my main issue with aniracetam too.
An inconclusive account is useful if it stops the next person mistaking a story for a controlled comparison.
Test one thing at a time. It feels slower and it is the only way to learn anything.
Loose evidence and no evidence are different, and people overcorrect in both directions.
