Modafinil is crazy tbh

[OOGABOOGA]

You fuckers probably know by now about my sleep issues. One of my previous doctors prescribed me modafinil, which Ive had collecting dust for a while now. Last night I ended up pulling an all nighter bc of an afternoon nap, late night caffeine for DoorDash, and a long late talk with @tincelw.

I took a measly 150 mgs of moda at about 6 am, ended up doing 6 weeks of he for one of my comp sci classes I’m behind in basically during a single sitting, along with contacting a bunch of doctors. Now I’m still wide awake at 1 am having been up well over 30 hours.

It also makes me noticeably better at piano. It’s not a magical pill by any means but the shit works. Works too well honestly I wish it had a shorter effect but by my standards, today was productive as fuck despite zero sleep thanks to a stupid Jew pill.

JFL i took 300mg yesterday since i needed to finish some school assignment. The modafinil made me so concentrated on our convo that i completely ignored it and chatted with you for a few hours instead

Makes sense tbh. Does it last super long for you too? Shits brutal tbh like I just want to sleep but I’m already thinking about going all nighter again and doing a smaller dose to get me through til earlier tomorrow night

yeah, I take it at 5:30am and still have trouble sleeping at 11ish. makes sense since the half life is 15hours

Brutal they need to fix that. Kinda ruins it tbh bc you can’t have a good sleep schedule on it. Or I can’t at least that’s just my own experience

Do you know where i can get modafinil illegaly and what dosages are you recommending to a dude who just needs a quick shit to get done? Like a 5h task and then go to sleep??

"The enantiomers of Modafinil are metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP2B6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. With this in mind, there would be theoretical ways to decrease modafinil's half-life, such as inducing biosynthesis of isoenzymes, or simultaneously administering drugs that increase enzyme activity (such as the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole's side effect of acting as a CYP1A2 inducer or the barbiturate phenobarbatol's effect as a CYP34A inducer), but none of there are particularily practical.

Short of decreasing Modafinil's actual half-life your best option would be to reduce its effects. Gabapentin and Pregabalin are anecdotal noted to reduce tail-end stimulant effects and stimulant comedown, for instance. Whether something like this would be a reasonable option is up to you."

Just eat half a tab instead, so it won't be lasting as long while. But its not good for you, no matter what. Also it doesn't help you "do things" or give you motivation. It just makes you not sleepy.
