I take piracetam for protection from hypoxia, vs. reversing a condition which causes hypoxia, as the condition is self-induced =) I've been tapering off as my habit draws back, but for nearly two decades I smoked on average 30 cigarettes per day. The CO load from smoking at that level was having effects on my memory which were noticeably reduced over time after that level of piracetam. For a period where my smoking was much reduced (nearly quit), I pulled back to 1600mg per day.

I'm not keen on other drugs, as piracetam has been the only one out of the lot I've taken that didn't have other serious side-effects which created problems for me. Pentoxifylline is contra-indicated with other parts of my health profile, you could say.. =)
