100 mg Modalert ”second try”

Mod is funny because you dont feel much unless you actually focus then your eyes lock on to whatever youre doing like a precision laser! 

+ Incredible for creative writing! No resistance, just a pure flow state! Heavy feeling I usually feel in my body not there, amazing.

- Must have a chosen task before you pop the pill otherwise youll be running around restless wanting to clean the house

+ Very very smooth comedown after 6 hours (personally) with an almost not noticeable headache

+1000 Words of creative writing effortlessly

-sleepy/crash in the afternoon

-weird CEVs when trying to sleep

-sniffly? could be dust or pollen

-Headache in the morning

-slight anxiety but Im a pretty anxious guy

Will lower dose

I did ritalin for 2 years straight ( and with weed on top of that all day long )

one day you'll now why I m completely out of using those drugs. ( I did without weed aswsell )
 

can help for some production work like "mixing", but there is two things with ritalin :

- big crash / stacking no sleep ( using sort of sleep pills or whatever to sleep )

- high pressure in the ears ( more "high frequency", your ears are more "alert" so opened ), ( and I think all stimulant do it, even coffee ). Not good for producing music long term.

now my drug is not pushing my self, but doing all days a total aware session of work, I changed my way to see how I m productive, more observational work and internal visualisation than raw production.

I still smoke weed, but less, like 0.2g per day at night, before it was like 1,5g a day

Why?

Im sure I will, but Im doing okay now, I rarely use this as you can see its only my third time. I like to use it to experiment with writing but Im a bit turned off now because of the CEVs and the headache so I’ll probably use it even less.
 

can help for some production work like "mixing", but there is two things with ritalin :

For me I cant make music on it at all, my creativity is pretty stifled.

- big crash / stacking no sleep ( using sort of sleep pills or whatever to sleep )

Ritalin is a stimulant, Moda is a wakefulness agent, huge difference. 

- high pressure in the ears ( more "high frequency", your ears are more "alert" so opened ), ( and I think all stimulant do it, even coffee ). Not good for producing music long term.

That sounds awful.

Yep, Moda has inspired me to get rid of the resistance I have in my body because I see how productive I can be in the flow state. 

I still smoke weed, but less, like 0.2g per day at night, before it was like 1,5g a day

I cant do shit on weed, Its too trippy for me.

@Rilles @Sahil Pandit Receiving Moda in the mail tomorrow and I'm looking forward to trying it out for the first time. What's your experience with urination and dehydration? Feels like it might be the biggest downside for myself assuming I have no ill reactions to it. I do have Psoriasis / Auto Immune issues so I hope that won't get triggered with Moda . . .

Tiny headaches come and go... make sure you drink a glass a water atleast once an hour. Start with 50mg, Moda is very subtle but strong so you dont really need to take an entire pill. There is tiny chance to get Steven Johnson Syndrome so be careful and do your research. Lastly... decide your task before you pop otherwise youll waste time time browsing YT in tunnel vision and wanting to clean the entire house.

@SoothedByRain No need to worry.

Keep some water by your desk or bed side at all times, just a reminder to drink some. It's good stuff.

[SoothedByRain]

@Sahil Pandit @Rilles Yeah I can plan on doing 50mg sessions once or maybe twice a day. Definitely plan on sitting for long periods and seeing how that goes on Moda. Cheers for the replies me dudes. Have a song!

?have fun

[moon777light]

i got the worst migraines from Lions Mane, and they come so fast, like 30 minutes after i consume them 

[Sahil Pandit]

I have a pretty strong tingling sensation in the back of my head which is a slight headache due to 75mg of Modafinil. 

50mg seems to be the sweet spot for me.

Theanine - no effect except for wanting to sleep, but I drink tea everyday so I might have ”tolerance”

Ashwangandha - sleepy but calming, I like the earthy taste

Modafinil - slightly meditative, very creative, subtle, bodily tiredness nowhere to be found which is awesome

Bacopa - made me depressed and lazy for 30 mins, totally useless substance, for me personally

:}

I have some Maca root on the way, will see what thats like!

Maca is like coffee but well better and without the side effects. I don't know maybe you're tired a bit.

I like maca so far

I use this: https://www.braintropic.com/ngf-nerve-growth-factor-stack/

And have had some really nice results, but this is more of a long term stack.

I am pleased to report that L-theanine right before bed is unbelievably efficacious for lucid dreaming just FYI, try it out!
