Apparently its a wakefulness promoting agent for people with narcolepsy thats a better alternative than adderral and other stimulants.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil
I was thinking about ordering some. Apparently Joe Rogan and a couple of other people have endorsed it so I'm curious as = to what your experiences with it were like

no though i'd like to try it
From what I have read though it is like adderall without the hyper focus/euphoria aspect.

I call out anyone for using nootropics like piracetam because they are absolute garbage and do nothing, but modafinil from what I read is legit.
Bro do what I told you and just get a ADD script tho.

I take adrafinil occasionally and it definitely helps fight exhaustion but it doesn't feel like a stimulant at all and I would prefer an amphetamine to it any time.

Modanifil / provogil is excellent. It's what the military uses now to keep it's pawns going instead of traditional amphetamines.

I was thinking about ordering some. Apparently Joe Rogan and a couple of other people have endorsed it so I'm curious as = to what your experiences with it were like
BC: We went over this the other day mate. There IS evidence to support nootropics work. IMO just not that significant. Your subjective experiences have nothing to do with objective facts and scientific evidence. Stop spreading retardedly unscientific misinformation
Malcolm: I have tried modafinil many times. It felt like a better adderall. Imo I wouldn't take it long term. But it def is some powerful stuff. I have been up to two days at a time without a wink of sleep, or any percieved signs of tiredness. Its useful for things like that. But I doubt I would use it daily. Maybe on a bi-weekly basis max. Its the nootropic version of MDMA if that makes sense. VERY strong and it really opens up your creative mind. But a little too powerful, and often leads to a burnt out feeling IMO. I would try it for yourself a few times as others seem to get 0 side effects
Piece of advice; start really low on the dose and have low caffiene intake. Taking 50 or even 25 mg has resulted in a profound nootropic state. Like I said, I think I report more side effects than others
Both of you: I doubt anyone will really listen to what I am saying, but adderall just digs yourself deeper into the pit you are in. Instead of actually improving your attention span and concentration, you are taking a drug that then depletes dopamine long term. trying to treat poor mental health by planning to take speed for life is the dumbest thing I have heard in my life. Advocating it to others instead of proper healthy lifestyle changes is even more irresponsible Like I said tho, I doubt people will really listen to me

OP: If you are TRULY interested in long term changes in memory, cognition, etc. Look into meditation, yoga, exercise, proper diet, sleep, journaling, hydration etc.

Well ultimately you're right about the lifestyle thing. I can just see it coming in handy when I wanna work on my creative writing or if I have a fuck ton of shit to do for school. I'm gonna try it out and see what I think and I'll definitely report back ASAP

Go for it. I would buy a small amount. I tried it and ended up really not caring for it. Too strong and too draining for me
Like I said, look into the healthy lifestyle aspects, ESPECIALLY meditation, and then as for nootropics, look into ltheanine+caffiene, as well as piracetam. Feel free to PM me any questions. I have spent a year researching and exploring this all

When you say too strong and draining what do you mean? Am I gonna be up without being able to sleep for like 5 days or something? Does it give you a body buzz like addys? Nobody has been able to quantify the experience for me yet

I'm sorry dude, but l-theanine is a weak ass amino acid you find in green tea. You can get the l-theanine and caffeine from drinking green tea. It is really not that great.
Piracetam does absolutely nothing. I took it for sixth months. It will not help you focus and one of the main complaints people have about it is brain fog and being tired. It honestly is a placebo powder that will not help you. Half a milligram of adderall will do more then any dose of piracetam.

Honestly piracetam is something I would give to my grandma with alzehimers but for someone actually wanting to focus and get something done it is completely useless. Magnesium is more psychoactive then piracetam.

Imagine adderall that lasts like 12 hours and doesn't give you the "Drugged" feeling. It doesnt have the "dirty"ness of amphetamines but it gives you the mental clarity, wakefullness, and energy For me (others dont seem to report this) I have taken it as early as 7am and had trouble sleeping at 10pm. Keep in mind, it has a 12 hour half life. So this is no surprise to me when youn understand that. Taking a full dose at 7am and trying to sleep 14 hours later is like taking a half dose before going to sleep Others say they can sleep fine, but I basically get 0 sleep unless I blaze, take ltheanine, and melatonin
The next day I am quite groggy. So instead, I decided I would take it when I plan on staying up for a full 2 days. And eventually I realized that no matter what, taking modafinil entails a whole day of feeling drained or 2 days of being up the whole time
As such, I lost interest in it. I have a handful of tablets left, but I stopped caring for it really

As far as I know, there hasn't really been any physical addiction linked to modanifil either which is a great trait of a stimulant. Highly effective medically and recreationally.
I'm a big fan but haven't had access to any in a while.

Modafinil is for noobs who can't get real amphetamines.
