Horrible modafinil problem | ADHD Information
My expiriences with nootropics were only piracetam when
I tried modafinil (modapro). Prior to that I’ve been
taking piracetam for 10 straight days (2,4 gr each day).
During the first 8 hours I experienced all the positive
stuff that I've read about it : concentration, ambition
to study, et cetera. However the next day the situation
was completely different. I had severe headache,
tachycardia, anxiety and depression. My mood was
altered, I was feeling different. My apetite was lost,
yet I felt hungry. I had all the symptoms of excited
adrenergic receptors, that's what I thought. Although I
was able to fall asleep the sleep wasn't good. The next
2 days were the same – I had chest pain and anxiety and
at all I can describe it as : stress multiplied by 100.
However on the 4th day since, I took modafinil, I felt
relief, feeling almost completely normal except the fact
that I had little confusion in my head. The symptoms
however returned during the night. It was then took
alprazolam and metoprolol. My ECG and BP was normal the
next day. However I could still feel uneasiness in my
chest and at all really stressed. I just couldn't relax
no matter what I did. The next 4 days were like that
except I thought I was getting better - slowly returning
to my original state except the fact that my limbs are
pretty cold. I just can't get to warm them, really
uncomfortable especially when I try to get some sleep.
As my body is returning to its normal state the sleep is
getting worse (I could sleep for 3-4 hours) and I just
doesn’t feel like I’m in my skin. Sometimes my heart
rate would jump to 90, especially today when I drank
black tea (I don’t know if it’s the black tea or it’s
just my nervous system still too sensitive). Apart from
that the last two days I felt little buzz in my ears.
Could that be from the elevated HR?
The next day I decided I should visit a psychologist;
however he was unaware of that medicine - modafinil. I
described her my symptoms and she prescribed me
chlorprothixen and vitamins from the B group. What do
you think – should I take the chlorprothixen? My wishes
are to get better without any drugs possible and given
the fact that she didn’t know about modafinil I don’t
know if I can trust her. She told me to have 15g per
day, divided during the day.
Do you have any similar observations with the said drug?
I couldn’t find enough information on the internet. Will
my body return to its original state and what do you
think will be the best to facilitate the process?I had severe panic attacks after 1 year on Provigil.It ended my run with it which in the begining of it was wonderful at keeping my mind clear. but the panick attack were too much(I felt I was dying).
