Modafinil Dosing

Original post in this thread

random949494 · 13 points

I started on Modafinil on Wed for chronic fatigue / lack of motivation / general sleepiness due to an unknown cause. My doctor didn't know the medication really at all so prescribed 200mg daily. The pharmacist didn't seem to know much about it either. I have taken it for three days and while I am more awake the effects have been very subtle. Certainly no waves of energy, focus or productivity. I noticed on here that some people take 50 mg or 100 mg. I am planning to experiment with dosages a bit but I am interested if any information related to dosages. Is it possible it would be just as effective or more effective at a lower dose? Does that fact I have had minimal response likely mean that is all I will get regardless of dose?

Heh, there are lots of things about health care in the US that are not very comforting. :P

The deeper I get into different industries, the more I realize that most people are just winging it. It used to be a little disconcerting, but now I just expect it.

Being a consultant gives you views into things that you normally would never see.

Adrafinil Experience - Effects & Review

Replying to MisterYouAreSoDumb · Adrafinil is **NOT** toxic to the liver. That is a myth being propagated over the internet without citation. Please don't spread it. It does raise liver enzymes over time. Many dr…

Here are sources and reasonings for my assertion that adrafinil is NOT toxic to human livers. As if its approval for use since the 1980 wasn't enough. http://www.shirecanada.com/en/shire-canada/PDF/Alertec.Product%20Mon

Modafinil + Piracetam excitotoxicity?

Replying to srubek · FTR I've had no histamine issues, personally; I'm on day 4 of dosing. Also I take armodafinil so my histamine levels are naturally higher (than they would be without modafinil), to…

Good to know. I get histamine responses from being out in the cold, or just sitting doing nothing. So me having a histamine response is not indicative of the general population.

I should have said was considering it. They've moved to a new analog that is more efficacious. We should be getting that one in too, once we work out the synthesis issues. This is just the first one we were able to get s

Tianeptine from nootropicsdepot.com

Replying to jjhurley · This stuff is dangerous. Many people have gone to doses over 100mg several times a day and had as much trouble kicking it as an opiate habit. Enjoy but be very careful.

Anything is dangerous in too high of amounts. 100mg is not a smart dose, just like a gram of modafinil is not a smart dose. The same goes for caffeine and even water. That does not mean it is inherently dangerous. That j

Effects of modafinil on non-verbal cognition, task enjoyment and creative thinking in healthy volunteers

Replying to judasblue · Well, I am not sure that this study is the end all on this mood thing. There are other studies showing that moda helps with at least some elements of depression. http://www.ncbi.…

Well modafinil increases extracellular dopamine in the same way methylphenidate does, by inhibiting the DAT. So there will be some mood elevation because of that. It will mask some of the symptoms, but not really lead to
