Anyone here used Modafinil?

Apparently its a wakefulness promoting agent for people with narcolepsy thats a better alternative than adderral and other stimulants.

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.

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.

All drugs are incredibly subjective experiences, so it is hard to say
Also, for me at least, its very "edgy". to a much less extent than amps. But this is what he is implying
Like I said; the best way to look at it is a 12 hour amphetamine with less dirty/euphoria/drugness to it

debatable mate. I now hate modafinil and after I started this whole "healthy living" shit, I find any drug that I perceive as "unhealthy" less enjoyable. I still do molly, codiene etc. here and there. But how to think about things, and what your goals/perceptions are largely effect the drug experience
I think you can surely agree with me that it is silliness to assume that the "image" of cocaine and kind of feeling like a badass doesn't effect the experience of coke. I know for my peers in high school people thought they were hot shit doing lines etc. It was honestly pretty shitty as a drug (it was def weak stuff)

BC thought lorazepam was a placebo drug too once, took his month script in a night and I'm fairly certain ended up grounded. You'd think he'd learn that subjective feeling something is not what constitutes a drug's activity or lack-thereof, but what can you do.

Modafinil is great every now and then for a pick me up or if you've got shit to do. I only ever take it on the morning of test periods, either 100mg or 200mg depending on how much I've got to do. I find 200mg to be a bit too much sometimes, makes me extremely jittery and break out in cold sweats for the first 3 or 4 hours, but there is definitely a noticeable increase in brain activity/focus. Its effects would be comparable to drinking very strong coffee rather than an amphetamine, subtle enough to not feel like you're all drugged up, but definitely 'there'.
It doesn't feel 'unclean' and definitely isn't expensive. At $2/200mg pill, and considering how infrequently I use it, $100 investment will last me a year at least. Definitely worth your money and time

I am not going to look through your posts from two-three(?) years ago Would probably be impossible to find anyways with the spelling errors. Again the point is that subjectively feeling something does not equal activity. Benzos are the perfect example; Many love some benzos but don't feel others, some don't feel any. That's why many people prefer nootropics to releasers and reuptake inhibitors. Shame you were expecting them to feel good or feel like much at all, but that info was out there.

I believe it's a controlled substance but not scheduled as a narcotic which is super handy in case of any legal issues.

First of all, someone may not feel the benzos but they are usually fucked up as hell and don't realize it. Piracetam is not psychoactive at all and is about as powerful as l-theanine or vitamin D.
You could take a kilogram of piracetam and nothing would happen besides a head ache.

Piracetam has no psychoactive effects I took it for sixth months then more from a different source. You can take heaps and heaps of powder and it does nothing.
Vyvanse is dope it is metabolized into the drug that dexedrine is. I think it's called dexamphetamine.
These ADD meds actually work that's why they are prescribed over the snake oil options like piracetam.

Vyvanse is dope it is metabolized into the drug that dexedrine is. I think it's called dexamphetamine.
These ADD meds actually work that's why they are prescribed over the snake oil options like piracetam.
what do you mean they actually work? Please explain/elaborate. Please respond. 
Piracetam is snake oil basically and vyvanse and dexedrine and all that junk actually work.

I tried taking 600mg of Adrafinil instead of taking my usual dose of 30mg of adderall XR....it was terrible. I was exhausted all day from not taking the amphetamine and the Adrafinil did nothing to help with it. In fact I was sleepy all day, even after drinking 68mg caffeine and taking a 10mg adderall IR while I should still be under the effects of Adrafinil....anyone know wtf is up? Is it because my body is used to the dopaminergic effects that Adrafinil doesnt have?

I imagine pharmacologically they don't have the same method of action... and withdrawal effects from continued amp usage pretty strong..

Yah, I've tried both modafinil and adrafinil. Go with the moda if you're going down that path. It's a strange drug. Not terribly euphoric/recreational, but it will keep you going.
There were actually a few days where I laid down and actually fell asleep on it, but I've done that on adderall xr before loads of time(I just normally end up jolting upright in 30 minutes when the meds kick in).
I would say it's worth trying, but it might just not be for you. If you're looking for something close to amphetamines, you'll probably be disappointed.

Yeah I'll just give all my Adrafinil to my mom, it will probably work for her and now she won't try to 'borrow' my adderall when she has to work on something. The amp w/d make adra useless to me....fuggen sucks

Modafinil sounds like a poor man's adderall.

that's funny because I actually get adderall for less money than adrafinil....I just want an alternative to amphetamine.

its like adderall with no euphoria that feels more clean and calm and lasts longer. The two are very similar IMO

I have a modafinil RX because I work shift work in a plant.
I relate it to aderall, without the jitters, and the intense drugged feeling you get from it. I have to take it before 8pm to stay up until 6 am if I'm going to take it. And that's generally with a 1mg dose (half of my 2mg pill)

Piracetam isnt 'snake oil' dude. Shit works great for me, not too much of a body load. Modiodal (Modifinil) is sold OTC in Mexico and 'the guy' we get all our doo dads and gifts from Mexico from brings a little supply if I ask. Anywas, that shit is ROUGH. Every time I take it I break out a huge nasty cold sore! Disgust! But the 2-4 hours before the I-just-wanna-die-life-is-fucking-pointless comedown, I'm BOOMING and ZOOMING. Speed up like a motherfucker.
Then again, maybe my Mexican Modifinil is really meth. 
P.S. I've also taken that other one, forget it's name, that is converted into Modifinil by yr liver. That was a shit experience as well.
Speed is fucking garbage. Coffee is shitty enough for me, thanks!

Modafinil is one of the most expensive drugs I've ever seen.

A 30 second web search found cheaper prices than that...not sure if these are legit places though. I get it for like 30-40$. Not that I would anymore, as I said, shit is nasty and wrecks my body.

A valid point. There's always a balancing act between paying too much and getting questionable quality product.
