Anyone have experience with Russian nootropic picamilon, believe it easily crosses blood brain barrier but have some concerns: if it is a weak MAOI does that mean it carries risk of cheese effect/tyramine similiar to Nardil etc, i want to take it by itself and want to be assured that it wont be dangerous

From what I have read and from what I've heard from other people who have tried it, it is a safe med. I don't know how it could have any maoi effect because it is just niacin and gaba bonded together. A few people I've heard of liked it, but all of them experienced poopout within a couple weeks to three months.

Plenty of stuff in the archives here about it, and most liked it but as blueberry says, most did suffer poopout.
I have a theory about combatting poopout with picamilon......once it takes effect its worth dumping the dosage to a VERY low level to see if a low dose will provide a maintenance dose.
Its my guess that picamilons action is stronger than people imagine and that high doses cause the brain to compensate for it.
Just a theory of course.
I'd be interested to know how you get on with it should you decide to do so.
