Adrafinil/Modafinil/Armodafinil. Smart for 16 hours at 100-200 mg, no speedy side effects. Best life hack ever.

like

Adrafinil has never been available in the US by Rx. My indication of choice for a Nuvigil/Provigil Rx is "shift work sleep disorder" with "jet lag" due to "travel" and excessive use of "air quotes". If your doctor mentions something about the risk of SJS/TENS, mention that was ONE kid and it was never confirmed by skin biopsy, i.e., it may just be coincidence.

like

If you want to know all of that it needs to go through FDA approval. Which none of these supplements have done.

Beer , bourbon, and scotch are my supplements

@PwC1, I've heard about modafinil but not the others. Care to explain what they all do?

They're all the same. The first is the prodrug of the second; the second is the racemic form of the third.

Just read a scientific report; looks like adrafinil has to be metabolized and is therefore more damaging on the liver. Also didn't know it required a prescription - what did you say to your doctor?

Sounds like you've done your research. Thanks a ton!

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
