Alright. I've taken its 'cousin' adrafinil (or whatever its called) before with nothing, years ago. I've been prescribed ritalin, adderall, then finally dexedrine which is like adderall without a bad come down and side effects (and added tolerance!) for "AD/HD".
I have always wanted to try modafinil, just to try, and it so happens a couple friends of mine had some around, so I've been trading the dexedrine for these Provogil 200mg pills.
I'm always out for some type of more 'selective' stimulant or sorta-stimulant that would allow me to concentrate when needed, but also make me feel more "myself" and not do any more possible damage to DA/other sites that the amphetamines cause. I thought reboxetine did some good, but strattera, i dont know about that one... although now that i mention it, maybe since i have left over strattera's around here somewhere i should combine them..(with vvvv )
Well so i get these 200mg Provogil's, and not expecting much, first dose i took two of them. I'm not sure exactly when or whatever but i managed to eat a total of 5 200mg pills.
Having a "perminant" tolerance to stims from the amphetamines, i didnt expect much. Well, it suprised me.
I stayed up from early saturday to early monday morning (probably nothing for you guys, long for me though). I wasn't planning on it, lol, but I found that this modafinil really lets me concentrate good, focus on a task, when i need to, and when i don't need to, well...pretty much i feel normal. I ended up taking more than I should have obviously, cause the sleep deprivation started creeping up and i'd look at a wall, and see little mini-dreams forming, typical of staying up long - yet i was totally awake and could focus on anything, and my memory did not seem so impared like it normally would. I also noticed even though i was "tired" in a way one night, i had called up this girl to 'hang out' because i was damn horny (sunday night i think) cause she called a few days before or whatever.
So far so good, i'd love to be able to take something every day, that gives me at least some of the benefits of dextroamphetamine without side effects (adderall was much worse than dexedrine with the side effect thing, for me), and also just leaves me feeling otherwise normal. Also something that isn't going to fry all my dopamine in the long term...or other long term effects. I certainly don't intend on getting 'high' off this stuff, because well i have dexedrine for that, which honestly i have not once eaten a ton to get all sped up (well maybe the times i've taken like 2 10mg tabs maybe i'd talk a little much).
So I went on the net a did some searching on modifinil and found some stuff that was all positive for the most part, one study something about possibly being neuroprotective and good for parkinson's or to prevent it.
That sunday night, (no luck with the chick, she wasn't home, arrghh) I came home, and just wanted to get things done, clean up my room some from the weekend and well before that, stuff i'd put off i guess. I will add that I did take one 10mg dex sometime before leaving where i was coming from, because i thought i'd need it. Well maybe that did have to do with the want to get shit done thing, but dex alone doesn't do that, and it would have mostly wore off by then. If i took dexedrine, sometimes instead of doing things like clean up a sorta-mess i'd be zoned in on something interesting instead. I noticed I was just fully awake, fully alert, and when focus is needed, it was there.
I took a shower yesterday that seemed like the quickest shower i've taken. I find that if i'm not needed to 'focus', day dream a little, time will fly by, but when i focus on something, it seems like time slows down so I can do what I intend to do (a strange time-distortion effect, good though).
I like the shit.. only a few left but hell i am going to try to find someone with 'full coverage' insurance who might, get dr. to prescribe, i can pay whoever, or hell, trade dexedrine since while on modafinil I don't seem to need it. I like the motivation, the motivation to do things that more likely need to get done. I don't really 'feel it', i guess, but, i know its working when i can so easily focus on a task and block out everything else, when i want. Seems to last quite a while ... although i did take a total of 5 of those 200mg's over some time.. lol. I'll save what i have left (3, ahh), and try either 400mg when i wake up (a good day) or 200mg split on a normal day and see how it all goes.
Over a long term thing i'd much rather be taking something so much more selective than something like d-amphetamine tabs.
I know its not really 'recreational' but has anyone else observed any positive effects like these, i mean not to get high but for a 'labeled' add'er or ..whatever?
Maybe just a tiny bit of dex along with it had me all horny and in 'clean my room mode' (when i realised that night horny wasn't a plus) when i got home. Whatever it does, it seems to work, I haven't wanted to use any dex, although since i have 3 left (provogil) i'll use it of course. Even during the sleep deprevation thing (not that it was THAT long), looking at the walls or closing my eyes to check out the 'dreamness' i was in a damn fine mood! I dont know, somewhere in my brain its saying, hmm modafinil good, screw amphetamines.
