Hi there

I guess this is a nootropics related post

Currently taking modifinil. When I had it in the past, got the hunger suppression, focus and wakefulness.

Took 100-200mg.

This time, brand is different but same chemical. Eat like a pig, and nothing much else noticeable besides intense headaches and nausea. No idea what is going on. Its been about a year since I had it last.

I have had the odd binge with meth, nothing that would be ebough to call damaging. I feel fine when sober. Actually pretty good.

Any thoughts?
 
Whynot get dexamphetamine? Its not hard, depending what state you're in.
 
Headaches and nausea are common side effects and others have said that it happened when they changed brands. So maybe try going back to the brand you used before or another and see if that makes a difference.

Regarding not getting the hunger suppression, focus and wakefulness, meth binges could definitely be a factor but you know the extent of your use and how big a factor it might be. Otherwise, you need to put yourself in an environment that encourages the kind of mind frame you want to have.

Lastly, if you take anything else, it might interact with Modafinil. That's all I can think of. Good luck!
 
I found with modafinil that most of the more traditional "stimulant" effects (in this case, increased focus and appetite suppression) faded with a few days or weeks of use. After that all it did was cancel out fatigue - and if you aren't fatigued in the first place, then yeah, it's not going to feel like it's doing anything much.

I never experienced any nausea, but I did get the headaches, I'm not sure if there's anything you can do about those.

It could be an issue with the brand - some kind of contaminated batch maybe? But there's no way to find out except to try other brands and see what happens.
 
Honestly, I found it immensely preferable as a functional drug, although it had no recreational value.

It has a smooth, fairly clean effect, almost none of the peripheral side effects that amphetamines cause, and you don't have to worry about cravings leading to excessive dosing and binging, or the massive comedowns that follow. It just wipes out your fatigue and gives you a bit of a boost - I've always thought of it as "8 hours of sleep, a healthy breakfast and a cup of coffee in a pill." It really is an amazing chemical.

However, I find when both are available I use them for different things because I think the focus I get from them is different

E.g.
A long day of classes and work after not much sleep = Modafinil
Attempting to learn a semester over a weekend = Dexamphetamine
