OXIRACETAM BENEFITS
Oxiracetam is an all-around potent nootropic. It is more potent than Piracetam and has been known to offer stimulating effects. Alternatively, it can have the opposite effects of causing fatigue which suggests that levels of choline may not be adequate in these individuals. Nevertheless, Oxiracetam is still a favorite nootropic for many and can be used by itself or stacked with other nootropics.
The cost of Oxiracetam is higher than Piracetam but the potency is much higher. It is a great nootropic that can be used selectively or on a routinely basis. Overall, it improves cognition and memory and may provide an increase in sensory perception or reflexes in some users. This is based on personal reports and there is limited data to suggest which areas of benefit Oxiracetam may be prominent in from a scientific perspective.
COMMON OXIRACETAM BENEFITS:
- Increase in Memory
- Enhanced Learning Ability
- Better Sensory Perception
- Advance Technical Thinking
- Improved Focus
These are just some of the common qualities of Oxiracetam and you may experience other benefits. Others may feel little to no effect or they may be too subtle to realise. Often stacking with other nootropics can help enhance effects. Oxiracetam has little tolerance or dependence problems and overdose is unreported. The most common side effect may be headaches and in this case, supplementation with a choline source like, Alpha GPC or CDP-Choline is recommended.
OXIRACETAM SAFETY & SIDE-EFFECTS
Like most of the other racetams, Oxiracetam has been considered fairly safe to use. It is non-toxic and its low potency reduces the risk of overdose. No overdose reports causing death or severe side-effects have been reported. Commonly, overdose symptoms will relate to headaches or fatigue and will often result in opposite nootropic effects. Oxiracetam is well tolerated in most individuals. Some individuals may be sensitive to the substance and it is recommended to use a lower dose for the first time to observe the level of sensitivity.
Oxiracetam may have interactions with Carbamazepine. Carbamazepine is a common anti-convulsant and mood-stabilizing drug popular in treatment of bi-bipolar and depressive disorders. Carbamazepine has many drug interactions and is known under many trade names. The interaction of Carbamazepine with Oxiracetam does not appear to be life threatening. Only minor side effects seem to result from the interaction and Oxiracetam`s half-life and effects are commonly counter-acted.
COMMON SIDE-EFFECTS OF OXIRACETAM:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Gastrointestinal Distress
No dangerous side effects have been reported with Oxiracetam but always use caution when administering. Oxiracetam has not been approved as a medical treatment and is not meant to treat medical conditions or diseases. Always speak with your doctor before using Oxiracetam, Especially if you are on medication. Medications with a similar metabolic breakdown as Carbamazepine should be the most concerning.
