I take noopept 20mg daily sublingually or orally, and occasionally modafinil. Modafinil works really well for me (300/400mg keeping me awake and FOCUSED but not buzzing/twitchy) but worked poorly for my brother (no noticeable effect at similar dosage). Since taking noopept I have noticed more of a willingness and now desire to learn, something which was an issue in my past. It also seems to help me work for prolonged…

Do you have any recommended places to pick up noopept?

If you are UK based, send me an email and I'll give you a link. Otherwise check out http://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/wiki/faq#wiki_where_is_a_... be sure to read up on it first.

I take Nootropil, 3200mg daily to help combat hypoxia damage from a bad habit I picked up about 20 years ago (smoking =). I can't say there are any noticeable effects of doing so that I wouldn't call placebo effects. I used to take a much larger, and more structured regimen, and found it very difficult to keep everything balanced, some things increased the consumption of ACH so much that I had to start taking choline…

3.2g/day of piracetam is quite a large dose. If you are diagnosed by a doctor with a hypoxia-related condition, I would presume you are self-treating with piracetam, because I don't think it would have a great positive impact, unless your condition would be quite severe. I suggest looking into pentoxifylline ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentoxifylline ) and then re-evaluating your situation with a doctor and whethe…

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.. =)
