Nootropic Experience: Noopept Brain Fog and Megadose
Noopept was the first nootropic that I experimented with, and, as I can see now, it was a very good first pick. I first found this supplement after poking around the internet while trying to form a solid understanding of everything that was available for me in the new world of nootropics.
After a while, however, I became anxious and decided to get what sounded like the most effective, I mean why shouldn’t I just go for the best option right out of the gate? With this in mind it should be pretty understandable why the one billed as “1000 times more effective than piracetam” obviously got my attention right away.
The first batch that I ordered was 1 gram along with some sulbutiamine and a scale (by the way, you can get a neat little milligram scale for under $10). I started with small doses at first and found the effects mild, but positive. The only effect that was not mild was the new, greater sense of smell I attained. I also felt generally more energetic but in a mental rather than physical way, like I was ready for a really tough test or an intense study session.
Megadosing Noopept
After about a week the effects began to grow, but even sticking to the 10 to 30 mg doses I had been taking less than three times a day I quickly ran out of the single gram that I had purchased. Of course I decided to order more immediately and patiently wait for it to arrive, noticing that the effects lingered and slowly went away. After a few mix ups in the mail, my shipment came in and I went to work with a tactic I read about whereby users took noopept powder in large doses (100 mg twice a day).

The first time I tried this I dosed late and went out drinking with some buddies afterwards. I fell asleep just fine but soon awoke to music in my head. Although I was able to change the song at will, I couldn’t stop the incessant playing of music. It was the worst case of having a “song stuck in my head” that I have ever experienced. It was honestly a miserable experience because I couldn’t take my focus off of the songs spinning in my head. I struggled to get back to sleep and decided to never take a mega dosage of noopept powder that late ever again. I would recommend the same if you value your beauty rest.
I kept mega dosing through the day and that brought a great amount of positive effects for me. I was generally quicker in my thinking, but the effects subsided much quicker than with the smaller doses spread out over the day. At this point I began to realize that these large doses were beginning to burn me out.
In the end, I switched back to the more conservative doses that I had started with and oddly enough, the effects came back in noticeable strength, but nothing like they were when I first started the supplement.
Noopept to Reverse Alcohol Induced Brain Damage
I started doing more research and found that noopept was originally developed to heal brain damage caused by alcohol use as well as some other conditions that cause damage to the brain. [1] I bring this up because having been a heavy drinker for several years and continuing to drink a little from time to time, I suppose a major reason I had initially experienced very strong results was through the noopept kicking my brain back into a healthier state.
That’s what I’m thinking, anyway.
