I was really surprised at the effect of aniracetam also. Usually most of these nootropics either do nothing or they jack up your heart-rate like any other stimulants. It's interesting to note that aniracetam is considered an ampakine, which lowers the threshold required for long-term potentiation. When I was taking aniracetam, the anxiolytic effect was too strong to be placebo. Almost as strong as alcohol. I was genuinely surprised. It makes activities like staring at leaves fluttering almost magical. Eventually I gave it up because this effect wore off and it was too expensive.
