Best drug for a really big test

The best thing for you to help stay focused would probably be a dose of adderall anywhere in the range of 10-30 milligrams. They should go for six hours strong, but in case you feel yourself coming off of it during the exam you could take another one with you, but i wouldn't advise you take more than 40 milligrams in that time range; then you would definitely be at risk for being to tweaky if you have never used it before.
It really does help though, you work faster and more efficiently and you feel happier and more accomplished; I would advise you to try it if you need to like a week before the test, not the day or two or even three days before; as you build a quick tolerance and often you wont get to sleep the night you take it and that will definitely screw you up for the test.
 
Few pointers: for Adderall
1) You MUST do a trial run first. Taking a drug for the first time on an important test is a terrible idea. Take it and do a practice test/study/find other mentally taxing things to do. You need to KNOW you can function on this drug.

2) Use a small dose each time. 20mg max. This is a test aid, not party time. A high dose (40mg for a newbie are you fucking kidding me?) will have you 'tweaking'.

3) Take the second dose 10 mins after beginning to eat your lunch. Eat a medium-small lunch btw, with a decent amount of sugars (apples!) and some protein.

4) 1 water bottle for each half of the test.

Best of luck guy

So I've got to sit this exam in a few months. I sat it last year and failed, and I blame my failings primarily on my inability to concentrate towards the end of the exam. Its a marathon of a test. Altogether about 6 hours long, with just a half hour lunch break after 3 hours. For the last hour of the exam I was literally a zombie. My brain had stopped working. I had a double espresso during the break, and plenty of food. But still I crashed.

What specific drugs will help in such a situation? Something that will keep my mind fresh, without inhibiting my mental abilities. It is quite a technical exam.

I've heard of Adderall, Ritalin and Modafinil, but I don't know much about any of them? Which would be most suitable? Or are there any others? Its just something I'll use as a one off. Perhaps use once a week or so before the exam to acclimatize myself with the effects.

Sorry I posted this in the basic drug section, but I've been pretty disappointed with the response. Partly because most posters have been Americans, but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find as easy access to adderall as they manage. I can only really find modafilin from online chemists.

Am I the only one who finds [low to moderate dose] opiates to work really well for stuff like this? They just make me calm and confident as shit and I breeze through studying and then the test. Then I leave to smoke a joint and enjoy my buzz.
 
^ Not for stuff like this, but I do find opiates to help with writing papers. I wouldn't want to take opiates for a test that is 6 hours long. Once opiates wear off, I'm not as mentally sharp as before, and I usually need a nap in order to get back to normal brain function.
 
Avoid the "**£Money** for 10" modafinil called "Modalert". (Although there's actually a UK place selling modalert for about £100 for 10 - dunno how many are stupid enough to fall for it).

The proper modafinil will set you back something like **£Money** for 30.

Not a drug I found to have much recreational value but 2 AI got me some excellent marks some years ago.

I think I even put a trip report somewhere up on bluelight (have a search of can be bothered).

I used it to stay up the whole night revising and then a 3 hour exam. I hink I did this a couple of times and got some of my few firsts in the science degree I studied for. Did not take a massive amount and bombed some before the exam after snorting all night.

The next semester I did not do as well. Put this down to a lack of drug abuse, of course.

Otherwise plenty of water, lots of sleep (some suggest you lose iq points in missing sleep), avoid caffeine and I find bananas help (sugar and potassium perhaps).

Two polar choices there, good luck!
 
15 Q dances, easy lionel!

Ritalin used to really help me focus on my work. I think you need to take it for a couple of weeks to get the best out of it though. SR is probably beter for your needs also as you need to redose instant release every 3 or 4 hours.

It's probably best to not rely on a drug to get you through the exam though, if you have done enough decent prep you should be fine.
 
Thanks all of you.

I've managed to source some Modafinil, so I'll give that a few practice runs

With Adderall/Amps I finding it difficult to find over here in the UK. I know I can't ask for sources on here. But may I ask whether you know if online chemists thats post overseas actually exist? Obviously without the need for a prescription.

The proper modafinil will set you back something like £110 for 30.

God damnit. Have I paid for fakes.

They are not fake just generics. I have bought the same but not got round to trying them. A lot of people seem to think the generic modafinil isnt nearly as good.

Well to be honest I can't afford to be paying £50 upwards for the sake of one situation. Not that I wouldn't. I just can't afford that. So I'll give the cheap ones a go and see what they're about.
 
I also ordered a packet of the 10 for a fiver last night. A lot of the 'general public' seem to think that generic meds arent as good; they will pay £8 for branded meds when the £1 supermarket own brand products have 100% the same ingredeients and are just as effective.

I'm sure that BLers like Isemene are fully aware of this though and wouldnt be falling into this trap. Isemene what is wrong with the cheap ones ?

And Ponch and television plz let us know what you think of them once you have sampled. I expect mine to arrive in a week or 2.
 
10 for a fiver! bombay mix bathtub specials, good luck with that :)

the cheap modafinil i have is only useful when you need to induce a headache & mildly confusing state, not something i'd want at all in an exam situation
 
How about Modavigil as a brand? They're not more than £100, but much more expensive than £5 for 30....
 
Hey,

As others have said your best bets in descending order are:

1) Amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine)
2) Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
3) Modafinil

I would also strongly agree with taking a trial dose of either of the above before using it for your exam.

Now your problem. In the UK the biggest issue for you is in obtaining these substances, in reverse order.

1) Modafinil - Easy to get over the inter-web.
2) Ritalin - Moderately difficult. There are sources, but don't be surprised if you receive nothing at all or fake pills (may well be blister packed etc - doesn't mean anything).
3) Adderall - In my opinion, very difficult to purchase successfully over the inter-web.

You have ordered some modafinil, see how you go with that. This compound does increase levels of extracellular dopamine (albeit to a lesser extent than amp or rit), and this is essentially what you are looking for. I would say that the ritalin option is worth pursuing, since it is significantly better for your purposes than modafinil. My advice re Adderall, unless you have a trusted recommendation/source would be to forget it. Difficult to obtain online, and so infrequently prescribed in the UK you're unlikely to run across it on University Campuses etc.

Let us know how you get on,

SS
 
My favorite between Adderall and Vyvanse is Vyvanse. I've taken both daily prescription and recreationally (usually doubles as a large project session) With Adderall I would get cleches on normal does, Vyvanse only does this when I go all out and take 90-120mg. I've never heard of Modaifinil but I can recommend Ritalin for work alone, only lasts like 2 hours for me though since I've been taking uppers since I was in grade 3 and I'm now in grade 12.5. Shame you don't live in Canada, amphetamines are perscribed quite frequently, much easier to get. Often they are just given away, in high school anyways. I'd give you some Vyvanse if I could. From what others are saying though, try and source some Ritalin.
