Nootropics Phenotropil: a two-week experiment
10 Oct 2016
Nootropics are drugs, that intended to improve the functioning of the brain, namely the stimulation of mental activity, increased concentration, improved memory, increased learning ability, endurance, mood enhancement. Wow! I just need it all! Generally, the range of use of neuroprotective drugs is much broader and includes areas such as central nervous system diseases, disorders of the brain, depression treatment, the treatment of neurological conditions, etc. But in the context of this article we shall consider only the issues of improving brain function.
Neuroprotective drugs, there are many, the most famous of which is Glycine. Most nootropics give a noticeable effect only after prolonged use often is no effect and does not see. Which of nootropics act most quickly and clearly? - I asked a friend who was interested in pumping brain with nootropics and practically became a specialist in this matter. He said that Phenotropil.
Phenotropil
Phenotropil is domestic Russian development for astronauts. I am a cosmonaut too. If you read the instructions for use, the impression that it is a remedy for everything and for everything. Often people compare Phenotropil with a magic tablet from the movie "Limitless." The network password on Phenotoropil you can easily find more information and opinions. Phenotropil is now very popular. Reviews Phenylpiracetam are very inconsistent. From the most enthusiastic to these, they say, they say, from it only problems and irritability, or that he does not act.
Instructions and description of advertising - is one thing. Reviews is another. But neither the one nor the other can not be trusted in our modern world. Therefore, I decided to try for yourself. Is Phenotropil and general nootropic drugs may help pump the brain and body, improve your concentration, endurance, memory and other indicators, and even improve your mood?
I decided to take a course of Phenotropil.
The purity of the experiment
There is no purity of the experiment, unfortunately, I can not provide. (If it happens at all?) So many factors beyond the control of me, behind which is difficult to follow. So, guided only by their subjective feelings and blog entries that I conducted before and after Phenotropil.
In addition to receiving Phenylpiracetam during the experiment I did run 5-7 times a week + day doing physical exercise. I do not eat meat. Sitting meditation every day. In addition it should be noted that I live in a resort town on the coast. We have clean air and generally favorable environment.
Of course, on how Phenotropil showed itselfinfluenced my character and temperament. This means that your own experience is likely to be much different. Nevertheless, it seems to me, there are some effects common to many people.
Day 1
On the first day of the experiment, I was a little cold and was taking medication the night before. For a while I doubted whether or not to start my two-week experiment in this state, and yet decided.
For a long time I could not determine the dosage. Phenotropil discharged patients CNS diseases and many other serious reasons. I decided to use it to improve performance, learning, concentration. Simply put, to pump the brain. In such cases it is recommended to consume 100-200 mg once daily in the morning. Since tablets I 30, then a mode I chose: 200 mg (two tablets) once daily after breakfast.
On the first day after breakfast took 2 tablets with a glass of green tea. And almost immediately (within 5 minutes), I felt the effect. I can not believe that the drug may act so quickly. I quickened heartbeat, there was some mild agitation, abnormal sensations in the head and in the respiratory process. In general, my general background of bodily sensations changed. Or is self-hypnosis?
I immediately went to work. Yes, Phenotropil adds energy. But I can not say that everything with him is so smooth. All my usual negative manifestations such as laziness, stayed with me. It is the same with a weak concentration. If prior to the adoption of Phenotropil in my mind stormed Symphony rambling thoughts, after the adoption of this symphony Phenotropil repeatedly increased and took almost maniacal character. And I thought that the ability to calm the mind and concentration, to turn out, for example, meditation, handy to host Phenotropil to pump the brain. Only with skills elaborated in meditation (or even both), can be converted into useful energy Phhenotropil track. And scattering converted into concentration. In other beneficial effects Phenylpiracetam will wear more casual character. That is, if you do not have the discipline and concentration in daily life, and Phenylpiracetam will not help you. And it can help, how do I know. But with the already developed the discipline and ability to concentrate, of course, better.
By the way, I am not the first time I've noticed that when taking Phenotropil increased irritability. And with the first dose as soon as there was something not to my liking, I instantly fell in irritability. Of course, it plays a role here and that I am the person itself irritable.
I did not notice any impact on the jogging. It is also proposed to participate in the experiment Said my friend, with whom we run. Tomorrow he will start.
In the evening a long time stuck in viewing blogs and videos on topics of interest. I do not know whether or not Phenotropil action. This could be without him. Then meditation. Also explicit action Phenotropil noticed. Although he stayed longer than planned and longer than usual to get along with pain in the legs. Closer to the night the mood fell. All day I lost in playing chess.
Day 2
I ate two tablets pf Phenylpiracetam. To do nothing would be desirable. Already I felt Phenotropil so clearly as yesterday. But it turned out to perform one long tedious work with texts.
Come run with friend. There was a hurricane. People are not at all empty. The sea rages. But we still went for a run. It's very inspiring. And the mood was delicious! I would even say euphorically-delicious! Clearly seen strengthening Phenotropil’s emotions. Later, I had to visit my parents. They behaved as usual - haunted me any garbage. Well, as parents. It brought me out of myself, that I could not calm down. Clearly seen strengthening Phenotropil emotions. Phenotropil amplifies both positive and negative aspects of emotion.
Night long, enthusiasm and focus, wrote an article. Sitting deep meditation on sensations. In the evening again a little mood fell. Maybe it Phenotropil?
Day 3
Today, I feel pretty good with Phenotropil. Phenylpiracetam even helps me get over yourself and get down to business. I did a lot of work, a good workout. The mood is normal.
A separate theme - Saeed. He felt insomnia from Phenotropil. He had not slept all night and early in the morning went to work. But I do not complain about the lack of forces. In the afternoon some sleep (half an hour) and quickly restore power. According to the voice in the phone, I noticed that he had some sort of excited, positive, talkative. He did not calm down. Mad Saeed. He said that he suddenly felt like reading.
In the evening I was attacked not so much a bad mood. I do not want to do. Easily discouraged.
And then insomnia, depressed mood, irritability. The head persistently climbed bad thoughts. I knew it was Phenotropil, but could do nothing. His condition was similar to something like hang-over from drug. For the third consecutive day, the mood of the evening was falling. Maybe it Phenotropil draining my day?
Day 4
I woke up broken, and later with a bad mood. I do not want to do. Everything turned out very badly. Sport was given hard. In short, not a day, and a complete failure.
In the evening, breaking himself sat down to work, and gradually all cleared up, the mood has improved, the inspiration came.
An important conclusion of the day. Yes, Phenotropil may make the brain, or cause to fall into despair and apathy. If the head of the chaos, the Phenylpiracetam only strengthen it. In such cases, you need a little effort of will to put things in order. Therefore, care should be taken behind the head. By itself Phenotropil makes life better, your participation is required.
Day 5-6
In general, the mood was normal. But head periodically torn apart: one thing on your mind, then the second. That one rushed to the head, then in another. That panic, and after 5 minutes like already all do normal life. Every thought and emotion captured me completely. I do not understand how it is possible to prescribe Phenotropil to people, which suffer from depression. After all, he is unpredictable and uncontrollable. So you can bring people to suicide.
Days 7-9
Nothing much of these days I can not identify. Neither good nor bad. Just life. Phenotropil was felt, but not naughty.
Days 10-11, euphoric
These days, the mood was high because ofPhenotropil, sometimes to mild euphoria. Everything turned out well. Attention, sports achievements, work.
Days 12-15
Phenotropil gave good tangible effect. Also, nothing much can not be said about these days. It may have become accustomed to Phenotropil. One day, we ran a distance of 18 km without any problems. Sometimes the mood was upbeat, sometimes do not want to do. As usual.
On the twelfth day he said to himself that if not immediately bring himself to take up the case, the whole burst of energy from Phenylpiracetam goes nowhere: on that nonsense, which is engaged. It is again a question of self-discipline.
He said already on day 4-5 Phhenotropil ceased to feel the action. Maybe the fact that he was not one of those sensitive people, attentive to the emotions and feelings (like me). So any interesting information about the work of preparation I did not get from him.
Conclusions
Phenotropil really works. It comes into effect very quickly and clearly discernible effects in the body and mind.
For junkies (and I know that many fans are interested to get high with Phenotropil). Yes, really a bit Phenotropil rushing. But, as always, it has a downside.
Sometimes Phenylpiracetam intensifies emotions to mild euphoria, but in contrast to often manifests irritability.
Phenotropil amplifies both positive and negative emotions.
Phenylpiracetam adds energy. But where he is to take power, but in the organism itself. Therefore, after this, you can feel the fatigue.
Phenotropil itself does not make life better, will require participation. What is important is the level of self-discipline. If you channel the energy of the drug in the right direction, it can be very useful. If, however, succumb to their destructive tendencies, and it will strengthen by Phenotropil.
During my experiment alternated good and bad emotions, mood, tone and condition the body. Ups and downs. Just like in the daily life, except that the amplitude of these movements was somewhat wider. Sometimes a good mood overflowed into bliss and bad - in the obsessive thoughts and panic. Yes, it acts. Sometimes nice, sometimes not. But you can do without it.
It can be useful in work and study. The main thing to be able to control themselves and organize. Cosmonauts, which was developed and Phenotropil, people of the highest discipline, organization and training. Develop self-discipline, and based on that take Phenotropil. Although if you have a good discipline, no Phenotropil you will not need.
Prior to this experiment, I was planning to explore a variety of nootropics. But after my experience with Phenylpiracetam I changed my intention. Seeing action Phenotropil, I realized that I no longer want to work with Nootropics. I will move soon to the exclusion of everything superfluous, to simplify. It is far better to develop themselves without relying on any funds, especially pharmacological.
