There is a mention of “Modafinil” in the IllimitableMen. Anyone tried it?

it's simple. you pop the pill in the morning and you gain few hours of focus on the level you couldn't match sober

good for work requiring constant focus for long hours, like programming.

Armodafinil is better. Make sure you plan out your meals ahead of time because you won't experience hunger.

Yeah. It's ok. I'm a non-responder so I have to take a decent amount with caffiene to feel any different, but my focus is improved, especially on days where I would otherwise be struggling.

Some side effects, like a powerful urge to grind my teeth and weird shits make it a trade off though. Still experimenting with dosage, but I don't think it's something I'd want to rely on everyday. Instead, its more like a failsafe for those days when I need the boost.

I've found it handy for exam cram, taking it for 5-7 days before exams so I can sit and study for those days and nothing else. Was using 200mg a day, started at 100mg and went up as and when I felt it was required, caffeine helps when you start to dip a bit say 3-4 hours after taking.

When the doctors don’t help me at all with me problems simply b/c they think I just need to “reduce stress/eat fruits/reduce course load) b/c they are so convinced that my problems are fucking made up and nonsense and since they are “know it all” they didn’t help me.

There you fucking go.

After explaining my sleep issue to the doctor(female) she fucking laughed it off and the funny thing is my advisor was sitting beside me to support my issues but even she fuckin backed off.

I asked the doctor If she can get a psychiatrist to that she said she cant do it during the summer.

I asked about modafinil/armodafinil. To that she said “HAHAHA we don’t give them out just like that.

Soo when you’re seeking all the help the people around you always tell you to seek. And then they don’t fucking do anything about it. That won’t make me sit on my ass and just deal with it. No. I’m going to fucking sniff the damn hellholes to find the stuff I need so that I can progress further. And you know what? This is how I got armo.

Why would you willingly poison yourself?

Have taken it every day for 10 years now. No side-effects for me AFAICT, except insomnia if I take it too late. What do you want to know?

Try speed, its much stronger than modafinil.
