Nootropil is one of the most popular commercial brand names for Piracetam, the first and oldest Nootropic compound.
Since it was developed in the early 1960’s Piracetam has accumulated a wide range of user testimonials, reviews, and experiences.
Most of these, of course, relate to the benefits that can be experienced when taking Nootropil, either alone or in a stack.
For those are considering whether or not to begin taking Nootropil, examining some of these reviews and experiences can be helpful.
At the very least it will shed some light on what kinds of results many others have obtained.
Your results may vary from those posted in online Nootropil reviews, but a familiarity of the general range of experiences will help you get the most out of taking this smart drug.
It should be noted that while Nootropil/Piracetam is sold in many countries around the world as either a prescription or over-the-counter drug, in the United States the FDA has not approved Piracetam as a drug to prevent or treat any conditions. It also does not fit the qualifications of a dietary supplement and cannot be labeled or sold as such.
In the USA, Piracetam is an unregulated, unscheduled compound. It is legal to buy and own Piracetam for personal use.
However, buying Piracetam from vendors within the US can be difficult due to FDA laws surrounding the sales, distribution, and labeling of unregulated compounds like Piracetam. There are still some online vendors based in the US that sell Piracetam, however they are limited. Instead, many people will import from countries where the sale of Piracetam is legal.
Additionally, even in countries where Piracetam is legal and regulated, Nootropil is almost exclusively sold as a prescription drug, and it can be very difficult to buy without a prescription. Many people will instead just use generic Piracetam to test out the cognitive enhancement of this nootropic compound.

Nootropil & Sensory Perception
Related Topics
One of the first benefits that many users experience is an increase in their sensory perceptions.
According to Nootropil reviews, this seems to affect sight and sound much more than the other three main senses.
Then again, it is important to remember that nootropics can affect different people in a number of different ways.
Enhanced vision is reported as one of the first noticeable effects of Nootropil or Piracetam use.
Nootropil first needs to build up within the body so that it is able to physically cross the blood-brain barrier and reach its intended target. Therefore when taking Nootropil it will typically require about a week or two of use before you may experience the full benefits of this compound.
Once this occurs, users will typically begin to see colors more distinctly and generally have a higher awareness level of external objects.
Some people have described this as being able to see the entire forest instead of only a few trees…and with absolute clarity. There is no fuzziness or cloudiness. Everything is said to become clearer and it is even easier to notice movements and fine details.
The same thing goes for sound. There are a number of users who really enjoy listening to music much more while they are taking Nootropil. Sounds become clearer, deeper, and have more tone and body to them. For example you may be able to pick up sounds and things which you might not have been able to pick up before in music and nature.

Nootropil & Memory, Learning
Most people take Nootropil tablets or powder to increase their intelligence. Improved memory and learning are effects that all kinds of users ranging from students to professionals to stay-at-home parents have reported. Generally, most of these changes will be subtle (of course they may be enhanced further by adding a bit of Choline to a Nootropil stack).
Memory is believed to be improved through the action of Acetylcholine within the brain. Nootropil is believed to stimulate the Acetylcholine receptors in the brain, enhancing them to make them more efficient. This means that Acetylcholine remains more effective for a longer period of time.
Many of the most glowing testimonials from Nootropil users include mention of them experiencing significantly better recall. You may find that reading technical articles or challenging textbooks results in greater comprehension and better retention of facts. Consistent Nootropil use is thought to lead to better long-term memory and possibly even improved speed of memory recall.
Many users report that their mental fluidity often improves as well with Nootropil dosages. This simply means that it becomes easier to perform common tasks.
Reading and writing are said to take much less effort. Conversations become easier to hold and maintain your interest. This may even lead to extra confidence; it has for many other users according to their reports and reviews.
Another great benefit is that of enhanced learning capability. There are countless reports and reviews of users being able to finally just ‘get’ it about certain topics or concepts that had seemed to elude them for months or even years. This could be a particular subject, topic, event, or something related to a school class or work.
The ability to grasp abstract concepts is improved because your brain is thought to have greater plasticity with which to form connections between different ideas.
Nootropil & Motivation
How many people could use help getting things done? Many reports say that mental energy is increased, sometimes rather dramatically, when taking Nootropil.
This improved mental energy is oftentimes enough to really kick people into a productive mode to do what they know needs to be done, but sometimes is hard to get in to. You may also feel higher levels of drive and ambition kick in when taking this popular nootropic.
Many Nootropil reviews also say this nootropic helps to improve attention span, focus, and concentration. A number of users who are involved in very detail oriented and technical tasks, jobs, and projects say they really get a lot of help from this aspect of the compound. All of these benefits tend also to improve the mood and lead to a feeling of general well-being.
Improving Nootropil Effects
The best way to enhance many of these benefits is to begin stacking. A Piracetam stack is simply any combination of this compound with another nootropic that is known to increase the scope or magnitude of positive effects. Many people like to stack different Racetams together, and will often pair Nootropil with Aniracetam, Oxiracetam, and Noopept.
Even the basic step of adding a Choline supplement to your daily routine may be a big help. Many user reviews speak about how their effects were very subtle and limited until adding something like Alpha GPC or Citicoline (two high quality Choline sources).
When you combine Nootropil with an Acetylcholine precursor like the two mentioned, think of it like adding fuel to an already burning fire. The amplification of these effects is a great way to get even more value out of your nootropic dosages.
Additionally, the most commonly cited side effect of Nootropil is headaches. These Piracetam headaches are believed to be due to depleted stores of Acetylcholine, which in turn causes Acetylcholine receptors to burn out. By providing the raw materials needed to make more Acetylcholine, it has been seen that this simple stack can minimize or even eliminate headaches caused by Nootropil.
