Interesting. My anecdotal experience with modafinil is that I get extreme anxiety and elevated heart rate without any additional focus benefits. In fact, it detriments my ability to focus.
Adderall on the other hand, while stimulating and euphoric, gets the job done. But it works so well that I have trouble focusing without it now. I’ve tried tapering off multiple times but always go back to it when my work quality suffers and I’m not contributing to tasks that my team needs done.
- jvanderbot 5y agoParanoid suspicion was my #1 effect. No thanks.
- hda111 5y agoModafinil or Methylphenidate? Modafinil never made me paranoid but I know at least one person with psychosis caused by Methylphenidate. I avoid both nowadays because work isn’t worth risking health.
- likeabbas 5y agoWhat are the health risks with either?
- likeabbas 5y agoFor Modafanil or Adderall?
- reader_mode 5y agoI got that the second time I used modafinil and went with whole pill (did half the first time). Later on I did whole pills every time and had no sideffects (a couple of times I would get noticeably elevated HR, but I was awake 12+h at that point and need moda to get through the night)
- likeabbas 5y agoWhat dosage? I've tried 25mg, 50mg, 100mg and 200mg doses for Modafanil at different stages for a month. I was really trying to get off of Adderall at the time, but nothing really worked for me.
- reader_mode 5y ago200mg worked for me, started with 100mg to see if I would get sideffects, but I never used it over 2-3 days in a week.
- likeabbas 5y agoDifferent strokes for different blokes, I guess.
- The_rationalist 5y agoYou can try Armodafinil instead of modafinil, it cause less anxiety. Also not popular but apparently effective, amantadine is an interesting dopaminergic.
