Well, started it today.
For those that don't know what modafinil is, here's a quick crash course in simple terms.
It was designed for nacroleptics (sp). Those are the people that fall asleep involuntarely during the day. An extreme exagerated case was in 'Deuce Bigolo' when he was out on the date bowling and the girl fell asleep as she was throwing the ball.
Modafinil targets the part of the brain that regulates sleep, without affecting the rest of the CNS. In layman terms, it's supposed to get rid of all the sleepy feelings during the day when you are awake and make you alert while it makes you sleep like a log without frequently waking up during the night.
I personally have trouble sleeping due to various issues like nightmares, two cats that curl up in the worst possible places on the bed while I sleep and a wife that kicks me all night if I roll on top of her, despite the fact that we sleep in a king size bed.
As a result, my sleep in interupted all night every night, so I am constantly sleep deprived so during the day I am a grump without motivation and I am constantly depressed and as such I fall behind in all my work and tasks.
This morning, I began modafinil. I took 100mg in the morning (standard dose is up to 400mg/day).
Within an hour I felt like I took SyntheBURN. It doesn't affect the CNS my ass!
I began a work frenzy and several times I had to contiously make an effort to stop so I can breathe.
I even had a couple of mini anxiety attacks as I realised that my hands couldn't move as quickly as my mind was coming up with things for me to do.
All day I accomplished a huge amount of work.
Since I slept so little the last few nights, in the morning I was getting that sick feeling you get when you don't sleep enough and my head was heavy. As the day went on, that dissapeared and my head became extremely clear and focused.
Also, about two hours after I popped the pill, I had an uncontrollable laughing fit for absolutely no reason at all. Everyone around me now thinks that I am even stranger than normal.
As evening came around, I did my leg workout. No need for SyntheBURN before gym, that's for sure. During the workout, I felt like I was on ECA and clenbuterol at the same time.
Now that the evening is getting on, I am calm and relaxed but very awake and aware. I don't have the motivation to do much work anymore, but I am really looking forward to the work I have to do tomorrow.
So, modafinil did it's day job pretty good, but it also wired me big time which it's not supposed to do. Maybe I am sensitive to it considering that I have never done any rec drugs in my life or even drink coffee.
So lets see if it does its night job properly. I sure hope that I can sleep really soundly, 'cause I am quite awake right now and it's 9pm.
