questions about piracetam and alpha-gpc Options

[eraser]

hi,

i just ordered some piracetam powder in bulk and i've also ordered some alpha-gpc. i've tried piracetam once before with excellent results, the problem being that they did not last for more than a few weeks. i believe this may have been because i decided to remove alpha-gpc from the regimen and the choline bitartrate that i replaced it with wasn't cutting it. i also may have noticed the alteration before this. i made some dosing changes, tried taking the alpha-gpc again (i may have only done this for a day or two, so perhaps it didn't fully build up within my system) but alas, i couldn't get the same results that i had within the first few weeks, and was almost out of piracetam, so i stopped taking it altogether. i also became somewhat dehydrated and sickly around the time that i stopped taking it, and several days after i noticed some of the initial effects (like influxes of memories flashing triggered by objects or things in my environment, cross-association and visual supplementation that wasn't as present before) but i'm not sure if this sicklyness had to do with the piracetam/alpha-gpc withdrawal or was unrelated. nonetheless, the initial results were so helpful and impressive to me that i've decided to give it another shot.

my main questions are:

1. being 19 years old, do i really know what i'm getting into by taking alpha-gpc on a daily basis? i did not seem to have any negative side effects from taking it, though would it be safe to take on a daily basis? what if i continued it for years, with how much certainty am i not doing harm to myself? would i be best to use a more basic form of a choline precursor?

2. does any sort of tolerance develop with piracetam? how could i attenuate/prevent this?

3. what would the nature of the long term benefits from this treatment be? if my brain was structurally altered by this regimen, could i expect to retain some degree of effect after i stop taking them, say, after six months? are the structures created dependent on the substances i'm adding to my brain's equation, and will they still function once created but without the addition of piracetam/alpha-gpc? (i'm mostly interested in cross-hemispheric communication, here).


thanks in advance,

Both CDP choline and Alpha GPC increase GH release. Alpha GPC also increases Nerve Growth Factor.
