Piracetam has been improving my speech It's a legal and safe nootropic supplement that I've been taking 800mg a day for the last several days, read a lot about it online how it can improve your verbal fluency and used by stroke patients who have trouble talking. Didn't think it'd work at first but now noticing I stutter much less in social situations and able to communicate and hold a conversation unlike before. Not sure why this isn't more well known in the stuttering community. Wondering if anyone else out there has similar results when taking this nootropic? I wouldn't recommend taking it everyday over a couple months since a lot of people say it stops working so it's good to cycle it on / off ​ I should also say I stack Piracetam with Choline Bitartrate, L-Tyrosine, & L-Theanine although I don't think they play a major role in the verbal fluency part they just help support your overall brain function.
