Of modafinil? I have taken it before, but has anyone managed to this in a long term sustainable way without anxiety.

If you want to reduce anxiety then just kill yourself. That will reduce your anxiety 100% guaranteed.

I was prescribed it to be taken as needed after my daughter was born. I stopped taking it after two days because my sleep schedule evened out

No, have taken that shit a lot and it always made me anxious. The benefits (few) aren't worth the price and sleep/mood troubles

I prefer doing actual drugs (coke, Molly) on the weekend. At least I have fun.

I agree, modafinil daily is a fucking nightmare. I would get 0 sleep and rage at everything.

Here's the fucking pro tip OP, use waklert instead. I've taken it everyday for the past year and I haven't had any problems. Infact I'm excelling in every aspect of my life without any of the drawbacks to moda. Won't spoonfeed, go research it but you won't regret it.

Took it for uni, passed with honors

My tips
1: Definitely used on hardcore work days so i preplanned ahead of time.
2: Tried not to take it back to back or multiple times per week so maybe 2, 3 times at the most per week
3: Sleep schedule is important, never took before 12 noon
4: ate somewhat vegan and lots of antioxidants to lessen negative brain effects

Ive taken it before, it completely fucks my sleep. I wouldn't be able to sleep for 20 hours after taking it. Also my memory became shit and basic recall was a struggle.

That being said, it basically gives you high functioning autism and let's you focus on a problem for hours. Really good for coding

Wow. The amount of seething in this thread is ridiculous. Modafinil is a treatment for narcolepsy, subsequently you would have to be stupid to take it after 12pm as it is obviously going to impact your sleep. I am prescribed and take half first thing in the morning and half at 11 am and I sleep fine. I agree with other anons that you shouldn’t take it everyday but I would say the same thing about adderal/Ritalin dexies etc.
It’s a god tier medication which changed my life for the better, it doesn’t have the crash associated with other stimulant medication.
Happy to answer questions that anons have about it.
Also pro-tip combine with caffeine and a nicotine lozenge and you will be the most concentrated you have been

I was taking modalert with caffiene, but I can’t recommend that. I was only taking 25-50mg and I still had anxiety and sleep issues. Idk if I’m hyper sensitive, but i agree with what you’re saying about being focused. I felt like my life was turning around, but had to stop because of a few panic attacks.

Believe it or not, it doesn't. Moda in OPs pic is 200mg - Waklert is 150mg. Unlike Moda, you can take half and you'll still have laser focus all day, with no crash and will be able to sleep at night.

It's diet adderall. The one thing it does really well compared to addy is it prevents you from sleeping and there is no comedown the next day. However, there is also no euphoria, hyperfocus or burst of mental energy. If you're looking for that, you want adderall or meth. If you're looking for that but don't want it to last more than 1h, you're looking for coke.
For addy, I suggest you get a prescription or find a local dealer who you know personally to be trustworthy. If you're buying online, most likely you're getting mystery research chemicals. I bought "adderall" from the darknet once, it had the shape but tasted bitter/metallic. Real adderall from the pharmacy should taste sweet. Coke must be even worse as it's expensive so there is an incentive to cut it.
My dealer told me a majority of clients don't even want real coke because they're too used to the bunk bullshit coke that lasts longer. Real coke you should rub it between your fingers and it completely disappears.
Anyway, to go back to the subject, fuck modafinil. Stop being a pussy and get yourself some real stimulants.

yeah used it in college, its not some limitless pill though. the focus is slightly elevated but its more about not getting tired. the drive and motivation to get shit done still has to come from within, unlike adderall type drugs

For me, phenibut removes the jitters and anxiety you sometimes get on armoda/moda, giving more energy and concentration in a way that feels "clean". It's hard to describe.
I also take it the night before so it before me fall asleep and when I wake up, I feel a lot more well rested.
The negative effects of phenibut only occur if you exceed dosage and frequency. I respond easily to phenibut so I only need 250 mg but your mileage may vary.

Im not from burgerland so i don't know the situation there but most sellers I've used are just reselling stuff from Indian pharmacies. As long as it's in the original packaging and sealed, you should be good. If you're really nervous about it, you can buy testing kits and narcan just to be safe.

Modafinl makes me feel like shit, so I can't comment on it specifically, but when you talk about sustainable use for me, when I've had Adderall prescriptions, the key for me is not taking it every day. At bare minimum take 1 day off a week to get in touch with your body and true level of fatigue. Ideally though, you don't want to be taking it more than once or twice a week. It should be a tool for the tough times. Try to find more sustainable coping mechanisms. Like for me when I need to focus badly I put "Enemy Attack" from the Final Fantasy X sound track on repeat 1 to drive a sense of urgency. Find things that work for you

There is no soundtrack that can lock me in like modafinil. I’m telling you right now some these “professionals” have an upper hand. It’s usually their medicine cabinet, especially modern day. I was a straight edge for the first 27 years of life. I won’t ever take adderall…I’ve seen some people long-term get fucked from it.

doing CS at uni in my undergrad, modafinil is amazing

Modafinil is just the adrenaline spike of adderall but without the dopamine increase. People like it for weightlifting or going Chad mode with socializing. Using it for studying is pretty dumb though

Bros, I had been hesitant about using modafinil in large doses recently, because I had come to feel like it enhanced my anxiety. But I think that what might have been happening instead is that I wasn't taking enough to mitigate my anxiety. The past few days, I hadn't taken any, but had still felt anxious, and to the same degree I had been when I was taking 25mg-100mg. Today, I took 200mg, and I feel much less anxious, and I'm finding my work easier. This might all sound counterintuitive, but it could be that modafinil reduces anxiety in some people (I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety issues in the past, and am seeing a psychiatrist in May for a possible ADHD diagnosis too). Don't extrapolate my situation to yours, of course, there's always so many factors at play, but it's interesting to consider at least...

Started taking it a year ago, I'm now on 2 x pills a day everyday zero breaks, 600 leetcode problems solved.
The anxiety is fucked up, always had social anxiety but this turns it up to 9000. But now when I go to the library or even the train I get tired super quickly because of how alert and aware of others I am.
But if you're strong and can endure the anxiety, it's worth it because you feel a fire inside you, I don't know about everyone but for me I always had adhd and was a lazy fuck.
Anyways use it to make a youtube channel or some shit, I fucked up investing my time to learn to code then chatGPT came out.
Got some linkies but didn't sell at 50$ still holding like a cuck so gotta find something.

Modadinil just takes away the feeling of tiredness, that's literally it. It is not the limitless pill, it will not give you hyper focus. If you are in college and need to finish and essay and you have a close deadline then take it. But if you need to study for a math test for example, I find a small dose of lsd works better.
Honestly modafinil is a meme, just take coffee instead.
