Erection after taking aniracetam

[anrchy]

So I have been taking aniracetam for a few weeks now. I took a break after the first week due to negative side effects, that I later found out were possibly due to 2 things. I wasn't taking it with choline and I wasn't always taking it with food. Beings that its fat soluble I have read its important to take it with some sort if fat.

So, now I notice that after everytime I take it approx 30 minutes to 50 minutes afterwards I get an erection for about 10 minutes or so. A noticeable one at that. It's not a big deal besides the fact that when I'm at work its awkward because its hard to hide so I have to sit down or adjust the orientation of it.

I know it's possible that this could be the side effect of one of or a combination of the other supplements I'm taking so I'd like to know if this is common or if anyone has experienced this before.

In the morning an hour or more after waking up I eat some food and take:

Lecithin 2 capsules
Amino complete 2-3 capsules (all amino acids including non essential)
Vitamin D3 2000IU
Krill oil 1-2 capsules
Aniracetam 2 750mg capsules

Even without the aniracetam this combo is amazing and I feel better than I ever have

Aniracetam shows activity at the D1/D2, nACh and 5-HT2A receptors. As I understand it it increases dopamine and serotonin release but increased dopamine levels have sometimes been associated with increased libido. I'm no doctor but what you are experiencing may be some kind of interaction of aniracetam's dopaminergic activity with your supplementation of Vitamin D3 since Vitamin D3 is technically not a vitamin but a steroid hormone (or a secosteroid) and may therefore also account for an increase in libido in males.
