@awilst, I did a search of Connect and could not find any member who posted about using noopept or other synthetic cognitive stimulants. I did find a research article on the topic that you might find interesting until others who may have tried one can share their experience.
"Piracetam is actually the first synthetic nootropic to be developed back in the 1950’s. Since then, the basic structure of Piracetam has been adapted and changd to produce a range of compounds, including Aniracetam, Phenylpiracetam and Noopept. None of these substances are natural nootropics and as such they have a greater risk of causing side effects."
