Thought I'd add my £0.02 on '10 for a **£Money**' Modalert.
-Ordered from a "UK based pharmacy" with positive reviews on nootropics forums. Received 7 days later with a Hong Kong return address.
-Took 200mg a day (dose it is usually prescribed at) over a period of 6 days.
-First and second days were magical, worked a treat and blasted through more revision than I've managed in my entire life combined (not an exaggeration), with some moderate euphoria to boot.
-Third day, messed up sleeping pattern starting to catch up with me, though my concentration was still through the roof.
-Fourth day, managed to catch up on sleep. Still no negative effects but my urine was starting to REEK of the metabolites (I could smell it from the other side of the bathroom), which interestingly enough smelled exactly like camfetamine.
-Fifth day, started to get chest pains and headaches. Had exams the next 2 days though so decided to power through it. Not sure if it was the chest pains freaking me out but my concentration definitely dropped a lot.
-Sixth day, chest pain to the point I decided fuck it no exam is worth however many years I'm taking off my life with this stuff. Started getting lower right quadrant abdominal pain also. Couldn't concentrate for shit.
Did average on the exam that day, but completely crashed that night and messed up the next day's exam. If it was a one off for a single exam, or to get an essay done I might say it was worth it. But in this case it wasn't.
All the literature I could find says that modafinil is usually prescribed at the doses I was taking (200mg once a day every day), often over a period of a few months or longer. So either I had a slightly bad reaction to it, or there was some fucked up shit in there. The blister packs were labelled with 'Sun Pharma' and all the usual official looking stuff, though not that that means much.
Whether it was the modafinil itself, or the fact that it was sent from an office block in Tuen Mun, who knows. Won't be risking modafinil again anyway.
That said, the etizolam these guys were selling was dirt cheap and top notch, so not entirely a scam operation :/
