modafinil

Now that I live in Mexico where amphetamine isn't prescribed but you can buy Modafinil over the counter, I gave Modafinil a shot.

I used Adrafinil before Modafinil and the effects were similar - I was taking 350mg of adrafinil for similar effects to a 200mg Modafinil.

Taking Modafinil without a doctors supervision, as many here seem to do, is thus not a good idea.

The 15-hour half-life means that by the time you're ready for bed, your body has only eliminated roughly half of your Modafinil does from the morning.

Adderall was prescribed for fibromyalgia related symptoms of brain fog and lack of memory, modafinil for chronic fatigue.

You heard of modafinil, and the person who mentioned it to you said they were very good.

The second thing to consider is the use of stimulants like modafinil, apparently quite common in the startup community.

And it's easy to adjust modafinil and caffeine as needed to keep me happy and productive.

Interestingly, Modafinil might somewhat antagonize the Adderall due to an interaction between their mechanisms of action.

Provigil or modafinil is a stimulant, just like caffeine, amphetamines, cocaine and certain over the counter cold medications (ephedrine and pseudephedrine).

I know a lot of startup founders use stimulants like Adderall or modafinil to be more productive.

Though this may have been due to lack of sleep as you can't really tell if you've been getting enough when taking modafinil.

Modafinil is easier to acquire than Adderall, but it certainly isn't "far more powerful" than Adderall.

I believe that one of the most "abused" drugs for "productivity" is currently Modafinil, far more powerful than Adderall and without all those side effects.

If you ban Adderal/Ritalin/Modafinil (although the last one is very questionable when it comes to performance benefit but still very useful for motivation/energy when putting long hours practicing) and allow medical exemptions you will end up with privileged group who have access to the "right doctors".

Just the opposite, in fact, which is also why Adderall is a more tightly controlled substance than Modafinil.

Modafinil is not the safest medication either, given the number of potential sensitivity reactions that some people have.

Modafinil itself only has slight nootropic effect if any, both in my experience and in studies.
