Adverse side effects from Modafinil usage. Nothing to worry about or cause for concern?

Backstory

From noon last Tuesday until noon Thursday I dosed 200mg of Modafinil or 150mg Armodafinil every six or seven hours (the average amount of time until I felt like I was coming down from wakefulness effects) so I could stay awake and alert to study for a hellish exam I had at noon on Thursday. For this period of time I stayed awake, cognizant, and functional for roughly 48 hours and consumed a mixed batch of eight Modafinil or Armodafinil pills.

For the final stretch at noon on Thursday I consumed about 75mg of Guarana seed extract to give me the last boost of caffeine I felt I needed from the last Modafinil dose. I didn't want to consume anymore Modafinil at this point.

What followed next however is what concerns me.

When I got home around 4PM Thursday I felt an immediate almost crippling crash and slept until 1AM the next day (9 hours of sleep). I stayed up until 6AM working on another project until I felt crippling tired again. I struggled to stay awake until at around 9AM I started experiencing frightening sleep paralysis while resting in my bed and fell into immediate REM sleep. I slept until 3PM the same day (6 hours of sleep). I stayed up until 7PM…

After staying up 48 hours straight from a binge of 8 Modafinil & Armodafinil tabs. I spent the next 36 experiencing bouts of extreme sleepiness and subsequently sleeping 20 of those 36 hours.

I am 99% sure you are trolling. No, I am moving that to 100%. You are 100% trolling us right now. I'm calling you out!

It's time to have the Modafinil talk again.

It's been seven months since I made this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/199n7l/modafinil_posts/ We had a lull in the modafinil posts for a while, but now they are back in full swing. I just want to re

Here to warn the community that I've experienced debilitating rebound anxiety when taking l-theanine. It was 100 percent this substance. Quit a week ago and back to baseline. Theanine is going in the trash.

Talk to him about it. Modalet is just Modafinil. It is a lot safer than the Amphetamine he is on for ADHD. However, he should make sure you are okay with everything he is doing. You are his parent, afterall. But you need
