Piracetam nightmare-like side-effects
After seeing that the "Piracetam low toxity, no side-effects" harangue's also spread on the substance's Wikipedia page, I feel absolutely compelled to somehow publish and share a scary growing body of knowledge on nightmare-like side-effects reported by users on forums. I do feel so because of my hellish experience with a minimal dose of the substance. I wonder how this information may be correctly posted on the article.

Article maintenance tags removed
To whom it may concern:

I removed these tags from the article on the basis that the vast majority of the current article revision is well-cited to WP:MEDRS-quality PUBMED-indexed secondary sources and medical textbooks.

While I left the section tag for this in the Nootropic section, it would be better to use the tag (e.g., npsn-tagged text) or the  tag (e.g., medref-inline-tagged text) to specify exactly where the problematic statements in the text are, as this helps other editors identify sourcing problems to fix.

Unless the article significantly expands (i.e., ≥2x byte count increase) without adequate medical sourcing, please don't re-add these maintenance templates (re: WP:DRIVEBY); doing otherwise is really not helpful to readers or other editors.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 02:20, 7 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The tagging was done last June by an editor since blocked for socking. Odd. Bon courage (talk) 07:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Sulbutiamine (B1 vitamin)
There is some research around Sulbutiamine ( synthetic derivative of thiamine ) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulbutiamine ) that it can be used as a nootropic 80.208.71.138 (talk) 16:47, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 * See WP:MEDRS. Bon courage (talk) 23:24, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Those aren't primary sources. These research papers have been published in medical journals Hu741f4 (talk) 11:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read MEDRS, and if it still makes no sense there's background material in WP:WHYMEDRS and WP:MEDFAQ. Bon courage (talk) 11:20, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If that is the case then this entire "Nutrients and supplement" section should be deleted. Because the rest of the contents also cite primary research Hu741f4 (talk) 11:25, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I just looked at the first source there, 26740832 and it's a review article, so you are incorrect. Bon courage (talk) 11:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
