hey everyone it's Mike here in this video I'm gonna talk a little bit about
modafinil this is 100 milligrams this is prescribed you can see it's a nice small
size filled very easy to ingest for those of you that have difficulties
taking pill just ingest it with some water I prefer a first thing in the
morning I'll go ahead and answer some commonly asked questions during this
video like modafinil versus adrafinil like modafinil a 100 milligrams
versus 200 milligrams modafinil for ADHD and what nootropics could
complement the use of it alright what is the difference between modafinil and adrafinil
all can be purchased over the counter you can find
it online very easily and it's very inexpensive however modafinil is
something that does require a pres from your dct so please
do not ask me how to get modafinil or how to buy modafinil that is a
conversation between you and your general practitioner although there are
some countries where you can easily get it without a prscrip what's really
neat though is that adrafinil is so similar to my national and that they're
both wakefulness agents they're both going to work to some extent you'll
notice them working the same day you take them however what I don't like
about adrafinil is I just seem a lot more irritable it's very easy for
things to illicit like an emotional response that I'm just not able to stay
in that calm state alright next what's the difference between modafinil 100
milligrams and 200 milligrams I really like 100 milligrams more however I'm
somebody that is very sensitive to stimulants wakefulness agents and things
which make you more alert from my perspective what is the point of using
200 milligrams if 100 milligrams is working by taking 200 milligrams you're
in essence just gonna really feel more stimulated more energized and I don't
really think that you need it because along with that energy you're just gonna
find that your mind is racing and you're very distractible almost to a point
you're just unproductive because you have so many things the top of your mind
and especially I noticed personally when I go over a dose of like 150 milligrams
I do not have the patience to speak to people I would just rather be behind the
computer moving around things on my desktop or typing what are my thoughts
for a modafinil and ADHD I think it's great one of the really good uses for
modafinil is for reading and for me personally if I was a student or going
back to the years when I was in college I would have loved
have known about something like modafinil because you are just so easily
able to read to memorize things retain information and just have the focus and
have the interest in the material to begin with what so is do I recommend it
for ADHD no because for ADHD there's a lot of other health practices that you
should be engaged in first you should fix up your nutrition watch your
carbohydrate intake make sure you're having like stable insulin levels make
sure you're exercising especially cardiovascular activity has been proven
to help with cognitive performance things like memory things like your
ability to see things from different perspectives and as well as things like
fish oil other just natural supplements are better fit for ADHD in my opinion
and lastly what are some of my favorite nootropics to compliment the use of
modafinil and those would easily be aniracetam and l-theanine what so if
you're unfamiliar with aniracetam and it is very very effective at helping you
with social anxiety you'll find that first that you're more willing to engage
in conversation and then once you're interacting with people you seem to be
able to shut off like your internal dialog and not question things and just
beyond understanding of people empathize with them and build the deep level of
rapport which is what you want aniracetam although unlike modafinil
does need taking for a few weeks i recommend you take it two to three times
per day for at least three weeks along with a good choline source like alpha
GPC here's my bottle of aniracetam this is the pill form it doesn't really
matter if you're taking it in pill or the powdered form as the powdered form
doesn't really taste too bad but the pill form is just very convenient to
take this is from nootropics people it's dosed at 500 milligrams so I'm typically
taking this three times per day so if you are a new user to aniracetam then
definitely give it at least three weeks before you judge it and before you
decide whether or not it's something that you should continue having in your
stack and then another supplement which I really enjoy when I'm on modafinil is
al theñi and this is the powdered form again I purchased this from nootropicsdepot
and l-theanine it's found in green tea it is an amino acid that is
really gonna help you just a stay calm stay present and really stay like
unattached to the outcome all feeling really became popular when people
started taking it with caffeine so it's very commonly sold as caffeine with
l-theanine and what's really neat about modafinil is you seem to not need the
caffeine anymore because you're naturally just so energized and that's
use of modafinil is that if you're somebody that's experiencing withdrawals
from getting off of coffee or getting off of a stimulant banana will work on
different receptors to help you stay alert and therefore your cognitive
performance is just not going to decline as it typically does because when you're
experiencing withdrawals your memories low your energy levels are low and you
just have no ambition whatsoever what I like about all Fenian is it seems to
really mitigate the modafinil side effects if you're experienced with
modafinil then you already know that you'll feel the headaches
you'll feel a bit more irritable you'll feel very impatient however under the
influence of modafinil with some owl feeding and strategic dosing of it you
just feel more present you feel more calm you're more like your natural self
and then you have the benefit of having like the extra energy and the extra
focus and all that great stuff you want experience surprisingly though it's come
to my attention that some of my other favorite nootropics just work a lot less
when I'm on modafinil modafinil just overpowers everything some of my staples
for adaptogens like ashwagandha like bacopa like rhodiola and then even the
racetams like piracetam, oxiracetam and pramiracetam they just essentially
almost don't work once I'm on modafinil again modafinil was just so strong
that from the time I take it for at least 10 or 11 hours all in pretty much
feeling is modafinil and then those two other nootropics l-theanine and
aniracetam do serve a purpose what's great though is I wouldn't be concerned
about any modafinil interactions it's not been my experience that I've taken
something with modafinil and had a bad interaction or a bad experience with it
there definitely are side effects with most nootropics but I don't think that
there are anything to be too afraid of the hope of this information was helpful
