Modafinil vs Ephedrine & Caffeine

Original post in this thread

Dragonsnake422 · 0 points

TL;DR Should I stick with EC stack or try out Modafinil? I suspect I have sleep apnea and I take EC stack regularly to be alert. I sometimes get stim dick from enough dosages so been looking into other nootropics and stims lately.

I've been experimenting with nootropics over the past year and it's been pretty rad. I actually have been using Ephedrine and Caffeine for about 4 years now I learned about it for its weight loss effects but I stayed for the stimulant effects. I recently have been reading up on Modafinil and it looks enticing and part of me would like to try it. I got addicted to EC stack for about a year I used it for way to long. I stopped for a bit and I cycle it now.

I love the euphoric stim effect its amazing. I usually wake up with intense grogginess. I suspect I have sleep apnea I have to go check it out. I'll sleep 8-10 hours and still feel tired. Unless I take an EC stack. I never go past 75mg of Ephedra or 600mg of caffeine. Lately I have been taking a fraction of that dose because I had stim dick and was unable to keep an erection and I wanted my sex life back.

Is Modafinil a better stim? Thanks for reading guys I appreciate your advice.

I've been on a modified ECA stack for a couple weeks. It's much much more powerful than modafinil, and with fewer side effects. However, I add things in to combat the cardiac stress and vasoconstriction.

Here is what mine currently looks like:

* 12.5mg ephedrine HCL
* 200mg caffeine
* 1g taurine
* 1g L-arginine
* 570mg ashwagandha

Then I'll add other things in there to augment it. Today I added 150mg phenylpiracetam, and I am stimulated but not jittery.

I took 100mg modafinil, 100mg caffeine, 200mg L-theanine, and 200mg phenylpiracetam yesterday as an experiment. I was pretty overstimulated. The L-theanine did little to counteract the other stimulants, which was surpris

Why isn't phenylpiracetam more popular?

Replying to shrillthrill · Is anyone actually selling the R- isomer rather than the racemic mixture which appears to perform worse in animal studies? http://examine.com/supplements/Phenylpiracetam I've onl

It's not economically feasible. The synthesis is 4x the price. Nobody would buy it.

Bizarre side effect from "Super Rhodiola"

Replying to relbatnrut · It's such a weird substance. It's as stimulating as phenylpiracetam or caffeine or modafinil for me, but there's absolutely no crash, and no effect on sleep at the end of the day.

Do you mean withdrawal in general, or specifically for rhodiola?

I miss adderall

Replying to Blozi · I wish there was a "soft" version of an upper. I love smoking weed, but there's nothing to me like having the incomparable focus, energy, drive and confidence adderall gives me. It

There are many soft versions of uppers. However, you would just be replacing one substance to get hooked on, with another. DMAA is one. Modafinil is another. You can also stack caffeine with a GABA modulator like L-thean

hey, im looking for a good study stack

I would suggest KSM-66 ashwagandha for daily use to treat anxiety. It's a good one for regular usage. Then you can use Phenibut for every once in a while, when you need a stronger anxiolytic. That is not one for every da
