Two days ago I took 100milligrams of Hydrafinil around 11am. This was the fourth time I took it, the other times didn't seem to cause man problems other than tiredness. By 10pm I started feeling quite fatigued and weak, with headache and muscle ache--general malaise. By midnight, after going to bed, I started having hot and cold flashes and elevated heart beat (around 100beatsmin) which was accompanied by angina. I slept for twelve hours off and on and my heart rate never went back down so I went to the ER. Blood tests showed elevated Troponin at 0.9 and I was committed for observation during the night with a beta-blocker. Heart rate didn't return to normal sup 80s level until about 7am today--so 42 hours after dosage. My Troponin went down to around 0.4, but any detectable positive quantity indicates possible heart damage. My Echo looked good so nothing major happened it seemed.
I also took along with the Hydrafinil: around 300-400mg of caffeine, 400mg theanine, 15mg Vinpocetine, doses of bacopa, Rhodiola, and Ashwagandha. I also had about 3 servings of alcohol starting at 8pm the day of consumption before symptoms got really bad. I also worked out (weightlifting around 3pm the…

I see the convenience issue and the throwaway concern. I really do. However, I think it would be in the best interest of the sub to come up with some protocol to approve of hospital posts. I even semi-expressed my concern in my response to the post.
I think you're very knowledgeable and an indispensable asset to the community, and have the best interest of the community in mind. However, if there are any interactions with the novel hydrafinil, the community does need to know. We are dealing with the lives of people after all.
I'm not trying to say that you're pulling one on us. I do recognize that it's in your best interest to know about these interactions due to legal stuff and whatnot. It's just that some protocol to deal with these posts would be great. The quicker the protocol is produced, the better, especially with hydrafinil and other new noots hitting the market relatively recently.

I 100% agree. That is what I was trying to instigate after I uncovered the nootropics.co.uk fraud. We need a plan in writing that states how we deal with posts like these. That plan has to ensure people do not take advantage of the forum, to smear competitor's names, and is also in the best interest of the health and safety of the community. We need to have an open and frank discussion of what we want that policy to be.
If there is a major health risk with 9-fluorenol, I will immediately halt all sales of it. I want nothing more than to ensure the safety of the community. But I need some information here to be able to do that.
