Because of my extremely busy schedule (involving full time enrollment at a university, full time job, regular gym visits, and a lot of traveling), I have quickly found myself falling behind in my course work. I'm not new to drugs, in fact, I am very familiar with prescription drugs, so in order to safe the semester I did some research and found Modafinil to be a great alternative for Adderall. Unlike Adderall, Modafinil was very easy to find for purchase online via online pharmacy, so without hesitation I went ahead and ordered 30 200mg pills for roughly $83.00.

After some complications with my order, I have finally received it in mail. It came in a very shady box from some rural area in India. Without thinking I popped two pills on an empty stomach. I have later realized my mistake since I forgot that the pills were 200mg each – for some reason I thought that they were 100mg each, resulting in me taking double the dose intended.

10:30am – I visit my friend to pick up a failed delivery notice from her place (I didn't want to order it to my house because my roommate would freak).

11:00am – Just picked up the shady looking package, I opened it as soon as I got into my car and upon brief investigation, I concluded that the pills wouldn't kill me, so I took two 200mg pills.

11:15am – Having done some research ahead of time and knowing about the potential loss of appetite, I decide to head over to Culvers for some fries and cheese curds while I'm still hungry.

11:40am – I was unable to finish the fries and cheese curds, which is very unusual for me since I am used to consuming monstrous amounts of foods to accommodate my heavy weight lifting routine. I was very surprised to see the loss of appetite come so quick.

12:00pm – I realized that I'm not feeling a tiny bit tired at all. My mind is wide awake, and although I don't feel any euphoria, I am in an extraordinarily good mood and very confident. I feel motivated to get some things done, so I get started on the list of the things to get done today – mainly driving around the city, looking for job applications.

5:00pm – After spending most of the day driving from one side of the city to another (numerous times) I concluded that it's time to head back home. I have not eaten anything since 11am and I wasn't feeling hungry at all. I did experience dry mouth and headaches from dehydration as I kept forgetting that it's still important to drink water. One important thing to point out is that my good mood has lasted throughout the 5 hours that I spent driving around the city. I did not mind at all cruising along, with frequent stops, only to get told time after time that the place is not hiring at the moment.

5:40pm – After making additional stops on the way back, I finally arrive home. I head to my room and start filling out the job applications. The feeling of focus is comparable to the one of Adderall, but not nearly as intense. While on Adderall, I can hand write 30 pages non-stop. Modafinil didn't motivate me to do my chores, but it made me not mind doing them.

I have stayed up until about 1:30am at which point, I could still feel the effects but I have figured that it's time to go to sleep. I was not able to fall asleep until 4:00am. What did I do during that time? I was deep in my head, thinking. Thinking about everything. I thought of some of the best ideas for myself, and along other things I went over my entire life time line too. You'd think that you'd get bored, but all my mind wanted to do was think. And the best part is that I was able to remember everything all the important details of my thought processes.

At about 4:00am I found myself to finally be able to drift in and out of sleep up until 8:30am, totaling to up to 3 hours of sleep total (I still stayed awake a lot during that time). At 8:30am I figured that it was pointless trying to go back to sleep so I got up. I finally felt some form of hunger (stomachache) so I hurried to make a fulfilling breakfast. Afterwards I decided to take one more Modafinil pill to get me through today because I have a lot of course work to get done.

Although I only got 3 hours of sleep after a very productive day, right now I feel well rested and ready for another day full of productivity.

It really did help! But I would definitely take Modafinil early in the morning and start out with a lower dosage (200mg or even 100mg, instead of the foolish 400mg), so that I'm able to fall asleep at night!
