What does /fit/ think of nootropics? Most notably, piracetam?

I once imported a 20-pound package of pure powder, originally manufactured in China. After taking it 3 times a day for 2 weeks, I noticed that my energy level and memory were truly enhanced. Not in a fake amphetamine kind of way either. I was just able to focus and remember things better. When I woke up every day, I would jump out of bed. My mind wouldn't have the typical "morning fog" it does now, without piracetam. The only side effects I noticed was that 1) it made my HPPD worse (yes, I took too much acid when I was young--don't do that), and 2) the taste is horrendous... it still haunts me to this day. I can remember it exactly.

But seriously. Is there any reason not to take piracetam? The stuff works, and it seems to be pretty safe. I definitely, absolutely noticed a very real positive change in memory, but I'm still a bit scared that it'll cause cancer or something. What does /fit/ think?
