Flagged pairings

High-dose racetams simultaneously — overlapping mechanisms may cause overstimulation or diminishing returns — Use with caution—discuss with your healthcare provider.
Strong glutamatergic agents or AMPA potentiators — risk of excitatory overload through shared AMPA receptor modulation — Use with caution—discuss with your healthcare provider.
Anticholinergic medications — may counteract Noopept's cholinergic-positive effects — Use with caution—discuss with your healthcare provider.
