Take a read and tell me your opinion.

First. I want to be direct on this:
Well i have 17 years old. And i live in South America. So english is not my first language; but i would try my best.

So the thing goes like this: In the january of 2014 i decided to buy this drug (modafinil), in a research for improve my
concentration principally.
I decided to buy 34 pills of modafinil (200 mg). Obviously i was really inmature, so i didn't pay attencion to the indications.
I took 24 pills (200 mg) in the course of january and february. It was a little bit irregular: Some times i took 2 or 1 pill for a day. The maximun dose i took was 600 mg in a day (3 pills) that occur JUST ONE TIME. And the rest was 2-1 for a day. I didn't took the pills every day, like i say was a little bit irregular. But i consumed the 24 pills in 2 months. The rest 12 pills i throw it in the toilet. Because i felt really sick. Especially the day that i consumed 3 pills. The
symptoms were FEVER, ANXIETY, HYPERTENSION, AND LOSE OF APPETITE.
I stop consuming for 4 months. Until July and August. Those 2 months i just consumed 6 pills, maybe 3 in July, and 2 in august. Again i felt the same symptoms.
And then it came september, and i decide to consume again. this time just was 2 pills. The first pill didn't have a bad effect on me. BUT THE SECOND, IT STARED ALL.

Since then i have terrible visual-neurological problems. Anxiety. Hypertension, and now auditive problems. I think going to die.

I wasn't a healthy kid before (before modafinil): Didn't practiced to much sports and didn't go out so often (i stayed in home mostly). BUT I WASN'T BAD LIKE I'M NOW.

Before modafinil:

*I had visual problems. the normal ones. (myopia and astigmatism) and floaters (know it as MIODESOPSIAS in spanish)
*And I little bit of anxiety. THAT'S ALL.

But now, since modafinil:

*Apart of the myopia and astigmatism: Now i have neurological problems related with the vision. (The doctors don't have a clue about this)
-I can't tolerate lightness of electronical devices, so that means NO COMPUTER AND TV. I have to use the lowest brightness configuration on my cellphone and my laptop, and STILL have problems.
-I have a dry-eye problem, i can't stay above a Mechanical fan, My eyes dry as hell, and activated the neurological problem.
-And the last problem with my vision are the floaters(miodesopsias) I had floaters since i was a child. BUT NOW it stared to get worse, now i see more and more floaters in my vision camp, it's really annoying. the doctors say that you have to live with it, but the thing is that now my floaters are getting worse and worse. Difficult my reading

*Now the last big problem: My auditive problems, it stared 1 month ago. I can't listen music obvioulsy. I have constant deafness and i feel pain with every loud sound. I have to put cottons in my ears.

*The last minor problems are: More Anxiety, some hypertension and suicidal thoughs.

I think i fucked. and i don't want to end my life in an hospital. My parents don't know anything about it.
SO I'M NOT IN TREATMENT, IF THERE'S ONE. I have difficulty for study, and now i have to start college with all this crap, i don't even think i'm going to made it. So fuck.

Any suggestions, and opinions?

Thanks.
 
Well, my suggestions/opinions to/on you are:
1. you are only 17 years old your brain hasnt even developed fully you shouldn't need study aids/be doing any drugs at all for that matter, let alone an RC thats been out for what? how long? you may well have damaged your sight/hearing for the rest of your life, it could get better, but it could just keep getting worse and worse, no one knows, because its a RESEARCH CHEMICAL.
2. ITS A RESEARCH CHEMICAL , NOT A STUDY AID. JUST BECAUSE THEY (C**NTS) ADVERTISE IT AS ONE IT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS, LOOK AT MXP, ADVERTISED AS A MXE REPLACEMENT, NOTHING FUCKING LIKE IT! I COULD GO ON...
3. you did the right thing flushing it
4. stock up on vitamins eat well and try to do plenty of exercise (whilst not doing any drugs)
5. IF CONDITIONS WORSEN YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR FAMILY AND GET BACK TO HOSPITAL

I wish you well, but what you did was stupid man. Best of luck.
 
^ Um modafinil isn't a research chemical, any more than Viagra is. Its been around for a while as a prescription drug here in the states, trade name Provigil. Its provided to increase vigilance or for people who work odd shifts and it is im fact a decent study aid.

Its safety has been established by clinical and experimental trials and its not known to cause vision or neurological problems, especially at 600 mg. There would be a while lot of fucked up people here if it did haha. It has a mellow side effect profile even compared to Ritalin.

I'd recommend seeing a doctor for your symptoms anyways but don't be do quick to peg it down to modafinil.
 
Shit my bad, I completely misread that as MODAFIENDZ or whatever it is the RC vendors have started recently (MODAFINIL ANALOG?). Obviously I've had too many benzos.

disregard steps 1 & 2

step 3-5 are still relevant

good luck
 
go see a doctor and an optometrist

chances are a lifestyle of staying inside and binging on stimulants is catching up to you. maybe you need glasses too, it happens to people of your age.

modafinil is generally regarded as pretty mild, there's no reason to think taking it like that would permanently damage you, chances are you are just super anxious and have nothing better to do than worry.
