DOSE:
100 mg oral Modafinil
BODY WEIGHT: 175 lb
8:15 am took 100 mg, drank a glass of water, made some oatmeal, trying to eat oatmeal now

8:48 am I feel like something might be coming on? Not sure.

9:17 am I deff feel something, my brain feels pretty clear, my eyes however feel heavy and I might be having a headache come on. Blah. And my stomach is deff sick feeling.

Side note, I feel like I have to piss a lot. Ffs.

12:00 pm the headache sucks balls, it feels like a sinus headache mostly. Other than that though my mind is so clear, focus is about the same as before but all the cloudy thoughts and obstacles that used to cloud my focus is gone. The nausea lasted about 2 hours. Still pissing like a race horse.

My entries keep getting longer. Its like I got a ram upgrade. OH, and I've got a ton of work done already.

4:00 pm My mind still feels great, I'm not feeling as long winded as before haha, but this heartburn is drastic. I know I need to eat but not really motivated to make anything.

6:00 pm Ate some tuna on crackers and surprisingly what kept me eating more tuna was the liquid in it. It was like I was a sponge craving the fluidity (I don’t like this word, feels better to say even though it doesn’t mean what I want it to mean, though it should.)

10:07 pm got lost in work and research and reddit lol. The heartburn is still like molten lava. I'm nearing my first halflife point and I can say I definitely feel like its wore off a bit, but I actually don’t mind it. My cognitive alertness still feels pretty good. This headache though. Mother of god. Its like a migraine x2. I've noticed that my need to piss has tapered substantially, which is good because it means ill save on my water bill.

All in all the experience was incredibly positive. However, I dont think I'm going to take it tomorrow and instead just work off of the residual left over from the 15 hour half life.

The next time I take it I'm going to plan out my day a lot better. I was pleasantly surprised that I generally felt.. Well.. Normal.. But my mind felt like I got the best night of sleep in my life and it was first thing in the morning and lasted the entire freakin day. I even layed down for about 30 mins just taking what would normally be my daily nap, but I found that I was so refreshed just meditating for 30 mins and didn’t even need the sleep.
