Just be really vigilant about taking the smallest dose you can cope on as early as possible in the morning because otherwise you'll be up all night and shit the next day. Well, no, you'll be functioning normally the next day too if you redose after not sleeping but eventually it starts to catch up.

Modafinil isn't so much a "smart drug" as a "stay awake 8 hours to write that 3000 word essay you left until the night before it's due in drug" and at this it works very well. Be aware of your dose times as the poster above says, and start on the smallest dose - remember you have no tolerance, so splitting a 100mg tab is perfectly fine. It's basically a stim, but not structurally a stim, so treat it as you would Ritalin or similar. Try not to take it too many days in a row, or you'll develop a mental dependence on it to function.

Not OP. I was thinking of trying to this drug to treat my ADHD, but I just read it works by raising levels of histamine. I already have severe allergies. Hell and damnation.

Said friend has reported back to me after taking some this morning. He's been very productive. He's going to contact the guy who got them originally for the site he bought them from.

Does the rule for "no drug hookups" apply for buying prescription drugs online? I want to buy some but I don't know what sites I would go on to acquire some.

>>7193
I don't think it does, I have vague recollections of people swapping sites in the past.

>>7193

Na, we've discussed this in the past. The one I remember from the last time was inhousepharmacy which is an American site. I don't know if they sell modafinil though.

>>7193
Modafinilcat is a very trusted site.

>>7196
I took a look, and the 'Ay-up!' in the page title made me feel at ease, but then on seeing them address me with 'Crickey!' [sic] I got the impression they're just throwing in any expression they can think of to make themselves look British. Are you sure about this?

>>7197
It's not even listed on safeorscam. I'd love to know where the previous poster is getting his information.
I used United Pharmacies (UK) myself but it doesn't appear any more or less trustworthy than inhousepharmacy.

Just compared Modafinilcat's prices to InhousePharmacy and United Pharmacies (UK). IHP appear to not sell it, I'm guessing >>7195 is confusing the moda supplier with the penis drug suppliers or I didn't look hard enough.
Modalert (Modafinil) - 200mg (10 Tablets) on UP(UK) are £6.09 a pop. That's just over 60p a pill. On Modafinilcat the prices start at £1.30 a pill and even if you buy 300 in one go, it's still 68p each.

>>7196
I remember these guys appearing on Reddit, seemed a bit pricey for me though they do offer a discount for bitcoin payments, I believe. Here: http://www.reddit.com/r/ModafinilCat/

I have to register for an account on UPUK, I assume I shouldn't put any real information in there, including my address - so where do I get them delivered to?

>>7201

Do what you like, you're not breaking the law. Modafinil is a medicinal preparation of a Schedule 4 drug, so you can perfectly legally import it for personal use without a prescription under Section 4 para 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001.

United Pharmacies may sell to the UK and price their products in GBP, but they're based abroad.

So I got them a few days ago. I had three assignments, a seminar paper and one dissertation by the end of the month. In two nights I've completed one which I struggled to understand initially and am quite proud of the finished product, a paper that would likely get a first in the exam for and halfway through an assignment which I was warned by my peers took a week for one segment to complete. Going to do the remaining tasks (the remaining one and a half assignments and the dissertation) in the next few days. Going to take Sunday off as it can't be safe to take these on a daily basis.

I'm still trying to figure out if it's a placebo effect. I don't feel anything, I'm just doing stuff. I have no idea if I'm doing this because I want it to work.

>>7229
How much have you been taking at a time?

>>7234
started off with 100mg and then upped to 200mg.

Just woken up and had the shits. Wondering if that's because of something I ate yesterday or the drug.

>>7229

> I'm still trying to figure out if it's a placebo effect. I don't feel anything, I'm just doing stuff. I have no idea if I'm doing this because I want it to work.

Yeah there's very little "come up" effect as you would expect with e.g. amphetamine, but there are some tell-tail signs to know it's coming on. For example when I used to take it before going to work in the morning I'd know it was starting to take effect when the time would start creeping on towards lateness and I'd be wanting to read just one more page on wikipedia.

I've been taking Modalert while studying over the last couple of days, and I'm still not sure how much of it is a placebo. I managed to get more reading than usual done yesterday (though not as much as I hoped on this 'wonder drug'), but I don't know if it's actually improved my cognitive abilities, or even my concentration, that profoundly. I still find myself checking the internet at regular intervals, and sometimes having to re-read passages.

I think it just improves your concentration on a task only if you can direct your energies towards it, if that makes sense. When I went to browse the internet I found myself obsessively scrolling through unimportant stuff for extended periods of time, because I hadn't disciplined myself to use the concentration only for work. Someone on the internet put it quite well by saying it can increase your ability to study, but also your ability to procrastinate.

Also, I've conflicting reports over how good Modalert is, with some saying that Provigil is the 'real deal'. Has anyone here noticed any difference between brands?

>>7189
I mentioned in the Withnail thread that I use modafinil. I still am, sometimes, though I mostly switched to armodafinil, Modafinil (Modalert) and Armodafinil (Artvigil) respectively.

I can totally see how an otherwise healthy person will see it as placebo, because it "just" makes me feel normal. It stops my mind flitting about and lets me focus, but as others above have said, it's as good as making me get my work done as it is at letting me browse Wikipedia. It's a helpful nudge, not an iron fist.

I take half tabs (100mg modafinil, 75mg armodafinil) in the morning or just before lunch and that sees me through the rest of the day, dosing too late causes some trouble sleeping. "Overdosing" (more than a tab) has no additional benefit and causes day-time bruxism instead. It does cause a bit of a crash, around 6-8 hours after taking it on an empty stomach, but nothing a dose of food and sugar can't get you through. Nevertheless, I abstain on days off. My main hobby is basic electronics, so its really tempting to dose up before spending a day at the solder station, but I resist.

Even if I found my ADHD was alleviated by modafinil better than methylphenidate (which probably wouldn't be difficult considering it hardly seems to work at all), I couldn't afford it on a regular basis. The NHS gets me all the Ritalin I might need for two or more months at the price of £8.20. Modafinilcat or whatever is charging over £50 for forty pills.

>>7797
They're a bit cheaper here: http://www.unitedpharmacies-uk.md/home.php
Works out even cheaper if you buy double strength tablets then split them.

Does anyone really know the long term effects of this stuff?

>>7799

A more successful life.

>>7797

Didn't know you could get Ritalin in the UK. Is it any good?

>>7800
I'm usually prescribed Concerta. They only gave me Ritalin when I told them the Concerta was doing fuck all for me, and the Ritalin does fuck all too. It just makes me feel queasy.

After another round of Concerta and asking for instant release again I've most recently been prescribed Tranquilyn. I suspect you're asking your question because you can discern differences between brands, but I don't or can't.

I wish my doc could prescribe modafinil. If it's safe for narcoleptics why isn't it safe for me?

>>7801
Yo fam, wot you wont is dexamphetamine, it's bare hard to get a doctor to give it out though, them man make you go through bare hoops cos of all that yankshit about mortaled kids on the sweet sickly. ADD or ADHD diagnozes ain't easy to get, so like, look it up properly online innit.

>>7799

Not really, it hasn't been around long and no one seems to know exactly how it works (FWIW there are two major competing theories; dopamine and histamine. To my mind it's probably a bit of both and a bit of something we don't even know about yet).

People have been taking, for example, amphetamine for some hundred years now - often for a lifetime - and we know what happens to people who take therapeutic (or supra-therapeutic) doses for long periods. We simply don't know that about modafinil yet. As with many modern drugs "it seems to work and doesn't seem to kill anyone mostly" is apparently good enough.

One interesting thing to watch out for with moda is that it's a very effective pressor (raiser of blood pressure) without necessarily raising pulse; so if you get any odd symptoms off it get your blood pressure checked.

>>7802
Christ, let's not turn this into a speed thread, blud; I haven't had any in over two months and I'm fucked if I know when I'll get some again. I'd probably trade my own grandmother for a gram or two of pure d-meth.

>>7802
What are you talking about? I'm obviously already diagnosed.
