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.

• {{More medical citations needed}}
• {{Original research}}
• {{Unreliable sources}}

While I left the section tag for this in the Nootropic#Cholinergics section, it would be better to use the {{npsn}} tag (e.g., npsn-tagged text) or the {{medref-inline}} 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. Seppi333 (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)

Reason for removal of content

Why was my recent edit removed. The contents were supported by reliable pubmed research papers

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, PMID:26740832 and it's a review article, so you are incorrect. Bon courage (talk) 11:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
