Let me first preface that I completely agree that, for those who have quit amphetamines like I have for the past 6 weeks, drugs with even modest dopaminergic are probably not a good idea. But alas, I obtained some Indian Modalert for work performance reasons. I really only got on the pressed-pill meth bandwagon due to exponentially more complex work as Covid dragged on (I work in a math heavy finance/economics field).
To my surprise, I've actually gotten much better psychologically, and was really only looking for enhanced goal-oriented behavior and tolerance of boredom. I wasn't even specifically looking for the enhanced math comprehension that amphetamine notoriously imparts.
After a number of experiments over the past two weeks using various supplements (CDP Choline, magnesium, and so on) I just had to give up. Yes, the drug makes you feel more awake. I could see it being useful if, for example, I have to fly to the west coast for a business meeting. But on a daily basis? The worst headaches imaginable, anger issues on par with using trenbolone (haven't touched it since 2013), and a stimulant effect more approaching anxiety than anything else I've used in the past year, i.e. meth, cocaine, caffeine or tobacco.
Anyone else experience this reaction? I tried 100mg and 200mg doses, but wasn't really interested in experimenting lower than that.
This is a drug that seems to me to have a pretty serious side effect profile while conferring few benefits. I don't see what use it really has at all. I do remember the US military considered using it instead of dextroamphetamine, but stopped. I can see why. You get essentially all the worst possible side effects of amphetamine - increased blood pressure, psychological effects not conducive to ideal decision making (arguably worse at normal doses) - and none of the benefits.
You go on every nootropic forum and it is still touted, along with Noopept and such, as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
What gives?
