I am a student going intomy final year, I will most likely b using modafinil next year as i have read amazing things about it.

Please can anyone who a used it comment on effects and benefits as well as opinions on dosage safe periods without sleep and any other relevant information.

Although it doesn't compare to, say, amphetamine, it does have subtle benefits that are non-neurotoxic and sustainable over long periods of time (unlike most amphetamines).

I remember one particular time I missed an entire week's worth in math class and aced a test on the material the next day by studying for 2-3 hours on modafinil. I was notably sharper.

I've been able to achieve fantastic grades on tests while sleep deprived with the help of modafinil--again this can be done with amps but those aren't prudent in the long term.


If you're looking to improve intelligence, I can point you to scientific studies that are highly suggestive of the intelligence-boosting properties of:

Modafinil
Omega-3 fatty acids
Creatine
Bacopa

These are not only the safest but also sustainable.


There are many other nootropics but many are of dubious effiacacy and/or unsustainable long-term and/or outright toxic.
 
I've tried these a few times...

The first time taking a 100mg tablet I felt like I was coming up on speed about an hour after taking it. Felt very chatty and very alert. About 4 - 5 hours later however, I had a banging headache and just wanted to binge on sweet/carby foods.

The second time I tried these was about a month ago when I had a 3000 word essay to do and only 4 days to do it in (for me, this is not enough time and I cant do last minute!).. they certainly helped me focus and I got it finished within 2 days. But again, a few hours after taking them I just wanted loads of food.

I've also taken them for 2 days following a 2 day speed purge and they helped sort of ease the comedown I would normally get.

Just recently I had only had 2 hours sleep one night so took 100mg of these upon waking and another 100mg two hours later and they kept me awake and alert all day until bed time.

Theyre a good little drug actually when used correctly and I would def recommend for extensive study sessions :)
 
Yeah, I've taken Modafinil (Modalert). You usually take anywhere from like 50 to 200mg from what I know. It's nothing like an amphetamine though, not even close. It may keep you awake, that's about it from my experience.

Just FYI, modalert is total crap. I've had brand name provigil and then several of the Indian brands and the difference is far from subtle. Try the brand name if you get a chance.
 
I've taken Modalert, Modafinil, Provigil, all of them. I'm pretty sure they were all the same thing and I didn't see much of a difference in any. Overall the product sucks, whatever it is. You'd be better off just getting a coffee from a Seven Eleven, trust me.
 
I've done plenty of amphets before, yeah. Never done meth or injected or snorted anything before because I'm not a junkie. But adderall and concerta, yeah.
 
Yeah, it will keep you up. I just hated the way it made me feel. After trying it a few times I just said screw it, and would rather have a coffee.
 
Yeah that stuff would make me stay up for like a full 24 hours, and when I tried to sleep I just couldn't. With amphets I stayed up even longer than that sometimes. I didn't like it at all though, because when you're up that long you gradually begin to feel like shit and eventually the negatives outweigh any positives you get from it. That's just my opinion though. I gave up on all stimulants a year or so ago and would never go back. I do drink coffee now, but that's just in the morning or afternoon for a pick me up.

As far as experimenting, I never really took them just for that. I did stay up for about 2 days on amphetamines once though. I hated that so bad.
 
Nah man taking an amphetamine when you already can't sleep and feel like shit would be the worst thing in the world, because you would feel good again for a short time, then the bad feeling would come back 5x worse, lol.

But you are right about the modafinil / provigil keeping you up, it does do that. If that's what someone wants out of it then there's nothin wrong with that.

What the heck are you talking about?

Should be the same regardless of what brand.

There should also be world peace. But there isn't, because things aren't ideal in the real world.


Controls and regulations on the purity and efficacy of drugs are not as stringent in India as they are in the US.

I hear ya on that!! The only time I've ever found it almost ok was when I was tucked up in bed with someone I liked - other than that one time... worst come down ever! (Saying that, its still my doc... amphets that is, not modafinil - that stuff just gives me a killer headache and you cant sleep it off.. doh!)
 
one of my friends said the modanifil he got in bulk powder form was horrible compared to the branded pills he had before

i will be able to report shortly
