Can anyone recomend somewhere to get hold of a (preferably small) amount of Provigil? (Shipping to UK) Would like to try it myself. edit: Found http://www.unitedpharmacies.co.uk/product.php?productid=973&cat=0&page=1 http://www.unitedpharmacies.co.uk/product.php?productid=973&... and placed a small order with a throwaway credit card, will see if that arrives in the next 7-14 days as promised. Would still like any recomendations, though.

I've ordered a number of times from: http://www.qhi.co.uk/intro.asp http://www.qhi.co.uk/intro.asp They have not defrauded the cards I used and the stuff they delivered was, as far as I could tell, real (both from the packaging and from the effects).

  Thanks for the link - pretty expensive at 30 for 81euro (Alertec) or 30 for 143euro (Provigil)

    Well, I know a number of websites where you can buy sugar pills for a lot cheaper... I ordered the Alertec from those guys quite a few times, and it always arrived without any issues. There's a slightly fussy initial sign-up procedure which involves sending them a fax, but beyond that I've had no problems.

      Have taken your advice and ordered 30x100mg of the Alertec, and will sort the fax out on Monday - cheers :) (I assume I'm right in thinking there's no advantage to Provigil over Alertec?)

        I don't know, I always took the Alertec. As far as I know there should be no difference, but I'm not a pharmacologist...

  I have been wondering; for a while, my linkchecker tool has reported that my QHI links in http://www.gwern.net/Modafinil.html#suppliers-prices http://www.gwern.net/Modafinil.html#suppliers-prices are broken, and QHI gives some sort of IP error when I visit - is QHI blocking non-European IPs?

The author very nearly got ripped off by a firm that was advertising 100x200mg packages for $90. These will come from countries that manufacture it generically despite the patent." If you do try these, I would be interested in hearing how they compare to the Alertec.

  Assuming the pills look like they should, a good way to tell that you actually got modafinil/adrafinil is to see if you have a high concentration of sulfur in your urine. Meaning, go to the bathroom -- if you smell sulfur, you've most likely got the real thing. Anyone with a nose who's taken these before will understand...

    If it is the same sulfur-smell as one gets after eating asparagus, at least 25% of people will not be able to smell it. Furthermore, about 25% will not produce the smell after eating asparagus, regardless of wheter their nose can detect it or not. Personally, I'm at least in one of the groups, since I can eat asparagus without any apparent misfortunes in smell.

Just ordered 20x Modafinil from them, also shipping to the UK. Quite anxious about ordering drugs from a foreign company, but from some quick research, it would seem UnitedPharmacies are quite reputable. I'll probably break the tablet in halve anyway and start with 50mg, just to be on the safe(r) side.

  For various reasons I need a throwaway for this but I can confirm I've ordered with United a few times and it has been smooth sailing each time. Their ModAlert is also genuine (compared packaging and job numbers over time and with other vendors) and remarkably cheap. Only prob I had once was they didn't accept my Visa card, but tried again with another and was OK. It's worth noting that the "retail price" from the original pharmacy is stamped on the packaging. It's in Indian rupees, but it comes out to something like £1.50 per 10.. so they're still making a nice markup.

  Aren't you afraid customs will intercept and you'll be tossed in jail and labeled a drug offender?
  - ashleyw 16y ago
    It's not listed in the Misuse of Drugs Act, so I'd be surprised if I even got a fine for importing a personal supply, never mind jail time.
  - gwern 16y ago
    No. It's very rare for customs to seize nootropics or drugs such as modafinil; the few American reports I've seen said that the first seizure simply lead to a warning letter (and not getting the shipment back). I've imported modafinil myself without problem.
