Here is the safety profile for Piracetam:
Toxicity and harm potential
Adverse effects, although rare and of short duration are limited to anxiety, insomnia, drowsiness, headaches and agitation. It may be safe for up to 18 months in humans at doses of 3.2g daily with one year-long study in ambulatory patients with Alzheimer's using 8g daily reporting no side effects.[10] However, a possibility for adverse drug-drug interactions persists for piracetam due to it interacting with blood in an anti-clotting manner (and such, caution should be taken when pairing piracetam with pharmaceutical blood thinning agents such as Warfarin or potent nutraceutical options).
No fatal overdoses associated with piracetam use have been reported as of 2016. In animal models (rodents, dogs, and marmoset), an LD50 failed to be established at the dosage of 8-10g/kg.
Regardless, it is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this substance.
Lethal dosage
The median lethal dosage (LD50) of piracetam has not been officially published as it has low abuse potential, but the typical dosage is two grams once to three times a day.
Dependence and abuse potential
The chronic use of piracetam can be considered as not addictive with a low potential for abuse. It does not seem to be capable of causing psychological dependence among certain users.
Tolerance to many of the effects of piracetam develops with prolonged and repeated use. This results in users having to administer increasingly large doses to achieve the same effects. After that, it takes about 3 - 7 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 1 - 2 weeks to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). Piracetam may presents cross-tolerance with all racetam nootropics, meaning that after the consumption of piracetam certain nootropicss such as aniracetam and pramiracetam may have a reduced effect.
Dangerous interactions
Piracetam showed nonselective MAO activity in a rat study.[11][12] Piracetam and MAOIs are a potentially dangerous combination. It is likely that MAOIs could increase the effects of piracetam unpredictably. Taking this chemical while on prescription MAOIs is strongly discouraged.
As you can see, with the exception of MAOI's it is exceptionally safe.
I have been using it to treat tinnitus and restore lost high frequency
hearing (in my case hearing went from upper limit of 8Khz back to 17Khz) with
100% success for more than ten years.
Now, because the FDA is blocking imports, I can't get it.
I would like to encourage everyone to write the FDA and their congress critters to put a stop to this. With such a good safety profile there is absolutely NO justification for this and a lot of people, myself included, will needlessly suffer.

in reply to Nanook • • •how about next few months, you can assemble diy your own free energy generator? ;) up to terrawatts, if need it.
yes, its going to happened. and .

in reply to spacedream • •In terms of a plant demonstratively making power yes, but in terms of being a substantial part of the grid not as much. Also, I don't think general fusions plant is practical, too extreme mechanically.
I feel the Tokamak's are going to the workhorses, but as we gain more access to the moon they will have more applications. Tokamak's that burn a tritium-deuterium fuel will need to be heavily shielded because they produce high energy neutrons and because they require a thermal cycle to make power. So even if the reactor itself isn't too large, the shielding and generating equipment will be.
When we have more moon access, a permanent presence and some industry there and can mine helium-3, then a whole new generation of reactors and applications will become practical because the resulting products are all charged particles which means they can produce electricity directly without thermal conversion and heavy shielding will not be required making much smaller reactors possible and applications like fusion powered flight, space craft, trucks, trains, etc, feasible.
One aspect of fusion, verses fission, because you don't have the danger of meltdowns, explosions, and radioactive waste you can site these things at the load, in the middle of a big city, etc.

in reply to Nanook • • •ps: all you "know" about science so far is a lies and manipulations of rulers.
but this will be changed soon. off course if your intelligence level will let you understand. ps: reactor can be of football size. yes, diy, by yourself. and its was done already (in china last year), by enthusiasts and kfssi followers. future is here already, but only if you ready. its time to wake up.
