Bushy, what’s the cost for this stuff per month or whatever…[/quote]
Depends how often you take it. Roughly $1.50 per 200mg tablet, it is suggested not to exceed 400mg a day. It gets cheaper with bulk powder.
Probably the internet for most people who aren’t in the UK. It isn’t scheduled in the UK; that is, it is legal as caffeine tablets AFAIK.
It’s worth a shot, you might be able to get it cheaper, and at least you’re assured of the quality & purity.
And how do people get steroids… heh…
[quote]Thanks again for the tip off though badboy, got some Spike yesterday, and want to try it. Should I take it before the next workout/cardio, or just pop one right now and see if I get off my ass and get constructive around here. lol…you’ve got things down in this realm for sure…

Try the Spike right now, why not?
You can always get more.
One thing about modafinil & Spike though: if you’re focusing on slacking off, expect to slack off hardcore & get twice as much slacking off done.
How does Modafinal compare to adderall? I take 25mg. a day of Adderall XR by prescription for ADD. Does it work along the same pathway? Any ‘bad’ sides?

Good luck with Kaiser, Tone. I monitor my lipid profile twice a year and I always had to quickly scribble down the results they told me. (since they refused to show me the actual paper every time) I also remember asking for some Ritalin (for studying during undergrad) and was flatly refused. I just recently switched to Blue Shield.
Anyway about modafinil, I also enjoy it effects. If I had to draw a distinction with Spike, I might say modafinil is better in the library while Spike is better in the gym. I esp love either of them when I’m sleep-deprived. (which is anything less than 6 hrs for me)
I’d like to see if 100mg is adequate, but I’m stuck with 200mg caps right now.

I’m not calling shenanigans here, but with how great everyone is saying this stuff is I simply can’t believe that it doesn’t speed up your heart rate. [/quote]
It doesn’t. Well, it might if you take too much (over 800 mg / day).
The only reason AFAIK that it is called a stimulant is because you can’t really call it anything else, so the closest thing to modafinil is other stimulants.
Wikipedia has some interesting info if you haven’t looked at it yet:
Would you say that it takes some time for the effects to take place? as in I could take it for a few days and not notice anything then on the 3rd or 4th day I would start to feel the subtle effects?

I just called a friend that is a true narcoleptic. She used moda and amphetamine and she prefers amphetamine and she called moda a “toned down version of amphetamine.”
I don’t know what to think about moda. I probably won’t even try it actually because stims are just bad for me.

No, no, you know it is there within 20 minutes. It is somewhat similar to what caffeine would do, except it has very few side effects.
I have to agree with everything said here.
I bought my first pack last month and its good stuff.
Quick acting and long lasting. One 200mg dose lasts me all day.
It can have some sides, I’d say avoid taking on an empty stomach as it can make you feel a bit nauseous. I have a tendency to get a bit too focused on it and that can sometimes bring on a slight headache.
Having had experience with amphetamine from my clubbing days and finding out I am quite intolerant to its effects I can say Modafinil is a much better alternative.
It doesn’t speed up my heart rate and doesn’t give me that jittery anxious feeling that speed does.
I don’t take it everyday though as it seems a little too good, its mechanism of action has yet to be entirely understood and I’m not too sure there won’t be a debt to pay later on.
Moda doesn’t increase heart rate or heart rate variability. It doesn’t act the same way as amphetamines. Moda inhibits the uptake of dopamine and noradrenaline.
Amphetamines cause the increase of levels of norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin in the body, a different action to Moda.
That’s why people feel awake and alert while on Moda, but don’t get a buzz like amphetamines.
I personally use Spike for training and Moda for work and study. I love them both.
