Congratulations on your excellent post regarding racetams, Glousk. Mods might want to make this a sticky in the RC section.
I would add to your description thusly... Many websites who advocate for nootropics/racetams seem to encourage "stacking" or combining several into a single dose.
This is a bad idea on so many levels, greatest among which is serotonin syndrome. Were one to experience this condition just once, they would acquire the motivation to never go there again.
The production of too much serotonin promotes a variety on negative conditions including high body temperature, agitation, increased reflexes, tremor, sweating, dilated pupils, and diarrhea. Body temperature can increase to greater than 41.1 °C (106.0 °F). Complications may include seizures and extensive muscle breakdown. Deaths have been attributed to playing around with stacks of racetams.
Given their modest benefits and extraordinarily unpleasant risks, one should accumulate as much knowledge as possible before engaging with this class of drug.
