Hypomanic modafinil rebound

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

I had a very interesting interaction a couple days ago. I had been taking 75mg D-modafinil every day for 5 days, while ceasing my caffeine supplementation. I got back home from Thanksgiving in Colorado, and decided to drop the modafinil and return to my normal stack.

In the morning I took:

200mg caffeine

10mg noopept

500mg bacopa

120mg ginkgo

500mg ALCAR

150mg Na-R-ALA

200mg magnesium glycinate

200mg EGCG

500mg quercetin

sublingual B complex

1,600mg piracetam

Well this resulted in a first class ticket to hypomaniaville! It must have been a rebound effect from adding caffeine back in with the residual effects from the modafinil. I am pretty certain it has something do do with modafinil's induction of certain CYP450 enzymes. It was not unpleasant, and I was fully aware of what was going on. In fact, it was extremely enjoyable. I had dopamine/serotonin tingles shooting through my head all day long. It literally felt like I had taken MDMA. The next day I kept my stack exactly the same, but it did not lead to the same result. It worked, but more from a focused standpoint.

Anybody else have a similar effect from modafinil's induction of enzymes?

Any interest in a subredit for older nootropics users?

Replying to seb21051 · Understood. Morning after breakfast: 25mg Noopept, 150mg CDP Choline, 500mg ALCAR, 100mg Theanine, Coffee, 1g2 Fishoil, 65mg Ginko, Multivitamin. After Lunch: 25mg Noopept, 150mg C

First I'll start with the nootropic stack. Noopept is good, but is going to take time to build up. I also think you need to lower your dose. 25mg is usually to high for most people on a regular basis. I take 15mg and th

First off where do you live? Piracetam is legal most everywhere, save for Australia. It's prescription there for god knows what reason. Piracetam is safe, and has almost no side effects. The only common one is headaches

If you want to for the memory effects, but not to combat the toxicity. Florescent lights have small amounts of mercury in them. So that's your main worry with exposure in the warehouse you are working. Mercury will cause
