Armodafinil Trip Report

[Annoynymous]

Hello everyone. I have watched Leo's latest video about nootropics and decided to give it a shot. 

I live in Bangladesh and wasn't quite sure about finding these supplements here. But i was lucky that i found armodafinil and it is here sold as named 'armoda' tablets.

1st day i took half of a pill which is 75 mg. After some time i felt that i am super attentive and i could think a lot faster systematically. I also noticed that i have a monkey mind which drives me crazy and i was able to keep track of it as where it goes after taking the pill. I felt activeness in my body and felt i can do a lot of work. But i also felt some restlessness in my chest and headache also. But i was ground in my thinking. I thought about those incidents that are usually hard to think for me and emotionally tough to think any other time, but this time i was non reactive about it, which made me feel good. I took the pill at 3 pm. Maybe that is why i slept only 4 hours that night.

The next day i took one pill again, this time 150 mg. I felt that my attentiveness gone higher than yesterday. But after some time very intense headache popped out and i felt bad. My heart began to beat faster and i felt restless now and then. This time i took the pill on the morning. At evening i started to feel easier but headache was there for the rest of the night.

The very next day i took the pill again, but this time with a little bit fear. Anyways i gave it another try. Within two hours after taking the pill my headache was beginning to rise and i felt a lot of pain. I couldn't even think properly due to that. At afternoon i felt exhausted. I had a diarrhea also and felt weak. I took saline also. I also noticed that my anxiety was increasing and i was feeling sad. 

This was my overall experience. Armodafinil didn't work very well for me. It's been a day since i took the last pill and still i have headache.

IMO.. Raw Cacao is the only base nootropic you will ever need as all you have to do to get more out of it is add small amounts of different herbs/spices/biostimulants to enhance/prolong/amplify the experience and effect. You can also get into psychedelic territory with mega dosing cacao if its of high quality sourced.

Chemicals made in the lab by the hand of dis-aligned man are not safe in the long run thus the rapid side effects. Nature already has everything we need far more evolved than what we make in a lab. CBD, Medicinal Mushrooms and Algae and Shilajit are also great natural alternatives that will gradually return balance to the mind/body/spirit complex thus optimal performance/function can be achieved eventually.

Adaptogens are also something too look into which again brings natures intelligence to play rather than that which is not connected to the divine.

Hmmm... Sounds like the side effects are too strong for you.

Personally I've never gotten a headache.

If you get headaches, then I recommend not taking it any more. Try some of the other supplements.

@Leo Gura can this happen for pharmaceutical company? Maybe they have corrupted it. At the beginning i felt a shift of my consciousness. Bt it drained gradually taking pills.   

[Leo Gura]

@Annoynymous I doubt they corrupted it. It just seems that armodafinil does not suit your brain type.

You could try modafinil. It is a bit different than armodafinil so there is a chance it won't give you headaches.

I find armodafinil a lot more powerful. So much so that I hesitate to use it most days. Modafinil is more mellow.

@Annoynymous your name is hard to type lol. It seems just a little strange. Does your armodafinil have a bad taste like the rice type for pigs? Mine has that taste. But mine does not get me a headache, just a little discomfort in the stomach. but since my stomack is already quite weak it does not prove anything. I took 150mg yesterday and got a tiny glimpse of nondual awareness. Since my stomach always needs a ton of time to consume food it takes 4 fours to for the pill to kick in. 

My experience: The first time i took it i felt just a little more pleasant ( It might just be a psychological self-deceptive feeling). The second time i tried it and my mind felt more tranquil, a little glimpse of nondual awareness. 

My venture: just 30 mins ago i took 300mg. I'll wait to see how it will turn out. My health is weak, very weak but i am really disgusted with the web of bullshit , morality and rationality around so i took the risk. I have become conscious that i have been brainwashed by my parents, friends  for years.

@Baotrader 300mg is a double dose. Don't over do it.

[Annoynymous]

@Baotrader It tasted like nothing. It was just a pill. Btw which country do you live in?

In my country, Armodafinil can be found in 150/250 mg. Not 300

there are 2 types probably. The words on the tablet containing my armodafinil is blue, not pink like yours. I live in Vietnam. I search in the internet knowing there are blue and pink tablets. I am not sure if there's a difference in quality. I took 2 pills of 150mg

[Annoynymous]

Well it was a white pill.

Whatever, i am not going to take it again! 

[Butters]

Lol trip report, probably not a good title for nootropics. 

Don't take a full pill, stick with halves and quarters.

@Annoynymous I now it's no where near the same but the same type of headache situation happens with me with mushrooms (psilocybin). Even being anywhere near them would give me such a pounding headache and I have absolutely no idea why (and I don't experience headaches often at all)
