> My concentration is really quite bad and i need a little help along with mindfulness to help me read more. Piracetam sounds quite encouraging and i was was wondering if anyone has any succuess with it who had prior low concentration levels. PB thanks
I have no experience with piracetam.
Reading is my most difficult cognitive challenge. The only thing that has helped it is an improvement in depression.
I don't think it would hurt to try piracetam. Levetiracetam (Keppra) at very low dosages has been shown to improve mild cognitive impairments, especially memory. I developed no additional cognitive impairments with high-dosage levetiracetam.
"...monotherapy over 1 year revealed significant improvements in the following domains...verbal and visual attention, psychomotor speed, mental flexibility, executive function, verbal fluency and word generation."

What about pramiracetam? As I remember, it is supposed to work better than piracetam. I don't know if it is available, though.
