I've been off piracetam now for over a week (was on for two weeks), i tried it the day before yesterday to see if it would relieve the somnolence i had because of my fever, but with no positive effects. I have read here that a choline giver should help the sleepyness that can occur, and i'm taking lecithin, but it doesnt seem to do much, i also read that magnesium can help, so i bought some magnesium pills yesterday.
The thing is that sleep problems seem so unusual in studies?
And what about this:

Excess acetylcholine/glutamat activity? It seems to contradict the other hypothesis that choline supplements relieve sleepyness?
I want it to work but it seems my body wont react any better to it right now. Is there anything i can do?

what does ur dosage look like

It varies, mostly i take 1/4 of a teaspoon (about 700mg) twice a day, some times only 1/8tsp the second time, some times only 1/8tsp. Once i took a second attack dose just to see what would happen, so i dont take huge doses.

The effective human dosage is usually 4.8-9.6 grams daily.

Does it make sense that a higher dose would give less side effects?

I'm a little confused as to what the side effects you are experiece are...is it drowsiness or the inabillity to sleep?

I get cloudy in the mind, i get somnolence, insomnia and bad sleep (i wake up several times).

I experience somnolence and a bit of brain fog from my regimin occationally, but I think I'm too sleep deprived to get the insomnia or bad sleep.

I've been on a piracetam 2.4g, lecithin 3 liquid caps, oxiracetam .8g, dmae 1.6g regemin. all taken upon waking up. I usually feel great for about 5 hours and then want a nap or caffene. I should probably split these up into doses, but anyway...

I think adding the dmae helped me a bit with some of the side effects.

I'm also considering dropping the lecithin for a different choline source once this bottle runs out.

Most side effects if any from racetams usual go away withnin a few days to a few weeks.

Piracetam is best taken 3-4 times throughout the day.

Actually yes if the dosage is spaced out properly your body can become accustomed to it faster.

Aside from that taking Alpha GPC 600-1,200 mg will also help.

There is a chance as I stated prior you have something else going on however it will take time to determine that.

I would strongly recommend dropping lecithin and considering centrophenoxine rather than DMAE.

Hmm, i will have to make another serious try then.

would the centrophenoxine be enough choline by itself?

In most cases yes.
