Common Questions and Answers about Modafinil and piracetam

provigil

Avatar m tn Hello there, Nootropic drugs like Piracetam or analeptic drug such as Modafinil could help you with this problem. A diet including Omega-3 is also to be considered.
Avatar n tn Will these effects go away with time ? Because I saw a few other threads on the subject of piracetam withdraw problems and some people say they didn't. To be honest, that's pretty scary and this topic should be investigated in order to warn possible future users about these possible side effects. note (added 1 hour later): what was mild nervousness is now pretty much full blown anxiety.
Avatar m tn I took rhodiola rosea, piracetam, and l-theanine together. I experienced a headache and some tremors/twitching in my forehead. I no longer have any symptoms.
2007231 tn?1327807016 He has had it in senile dementia status for about 5 years. We recently use Piracetam and Hydergine for this situation we are in. I can say that it has been helping much more than anything else in the past like coconut oil, ketones, etc. Honestly, he is able to drive again and remember most of the marketing techniques he has in the trading world. umm. He is currently a Director in the IT world at the age of 59 and I don't want him to ever fall off the edge.
Avatar f tn Can anyone please tell me if adrafinil (pre-cursor to Modafinil) will affect taking birth-control pills? In other words, if I occasionally take adrafinil to help me study - will it make the pills ineffective. I certainly don't want to get pregnant. I know that long term use of Modafinil decreases the effectivenes of bc pills but how about short term use? Once or twice a week? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I have been put on Modafinil for my sleeping issues and it makes my birth control less effective according to my neurologist and pharmacist. Is there any way I can find out how MUCH less? Am I even protected at all? I have been on the pill for 10 years and after hearing this, I immediately called my gynecologist to discuss other options. She told me that the oral pill would metabolize through the liver much faster on Modafinil and so she put me on the Nuvaring.
5160872 tn?1385248794 I am switching from Avonex to Tecifidera and from Modafinil to Symmetrel. How has these worked out for others? I am looking forward to not having the injections and being able to take pills instead.
Avatar m tn Not good. You definitely want to look for a specialist. Might want to scope out your throat to see if there are also problems down there. Under side effects for Nuvigil it says, "Skin and mouth sores, blistering, and ulceration have been reported with modafinil and NUVIGIL in the postmarketing setting. Recurrence of signs and symptoms of serious dermatologic reactions following rechallenge has been reported in some cases.
Avatar n tn any advice or experiences that could help me understand would be really helpful please. My brother has started university to study architecture this year and due to the huge amount of nights he had to work, started going on modafinil. Now that the year is finished and he's not taking it however, he has become aggressive, irrational and rude. Does anyone know if this is because of the modafinil or if there's a link.
5160872 tn?1385248794 I as well was denied alertec and they chenaged to Modafinil bc it is cheaper and needs to be tried first (the are the same.. Just cheaper) My neuro still had to send in authorization papers to have coverage approved. It was no problem for ms related fatigue. I did try amantadine first which did not help so that could have been helpful in having the Modafinil covered. Hope it goes though for you!! It is great for me!!

This can produce euphoria, it can be abused for a high sensation particularly by students as stimulants for staying up all night for exams.

Avatar m tn I just found this site and have a ton of questions! I'm trying to learn of what my wife and I can do to BETTER our son's life!? He is 16 and for the past couple years has experienced anger/behavior problems. His vocabulary is VERY limited so it adds to all of our frustrations as we know he WANTS to talk but is unable to "express" himself. He has no interests in anything. We've tried bike riding, hiking, coloring books, games, everything!
Avatar f tn If you want a good over-the-counter pharmaceutical I would look into piracetam and use choline with it. Piracetam is an excellent cognitive enhancer and will really help with cholesterol more than all the listed above. Finally nothing will beat a daily healthy diet low in bad fats and exercise.
Avatar m tn All the information I have read strongly suggests that Modafinil seems to have a very toxicity, and what I am doing may very well not be causing me any damage, however I do appreciate that large, clinical studies of such doses have not been conducted. I also appreciate that I am no expert and I am trying to gain information to expand my perspective. I am potentially willing to reduce my dose, but not discontinue entirely.
Avatar m tn Hi, welcome to the forum, modafinil mainly acts by decreasing GABA-mediated neurotransmission. GABA is known to suppress the general alertness and can cause induction of sleep. Modafinil increases high-frequency alpha waves while decreasing both delta and theta wave activity which shows generalized increase in alertness. Hence, Modafinil Improves wakefulness in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and shift work sleep disorder (SWSD).
5509293 tn?1428531475 s office to see if there was anything I could take and it was either Modafinil or Amantadine and another specialist had told me that Modafinil was the one that worked best so I am leaving fatigue alone for now.
Avatar m tn The causes for jerks can be peripheral neuropathies, vitamin and minerals deficiencies, excess caffeine intake, hypoglycemia, and hypothyroidism. He need to undergo blood sugar and thyroid status to rule out the cause. He may have to take vitamin B-complex supplementation. First important step for management is treat identifiable cause. Pharmacotherapy usually involves drug modulating GABAergic neurotransmission like Levetiracetam, Piracetam, Clonazepam or Valproic acid against prescription.
Avatar f tn Okay so I'll try to make it short. 3 weeks ago I started to get really bad short breath and chest pain when inhaling deep. I waited a day and it didn't get better so I went to the ER and they checked my vitals and did 3 chest x-rays. They said everything was perfect... They said that it could have been a pneumo thorax, and that is wasn't asthma, then kicked me out. So now 3 weeks later I still have it and don't know what to do...
Avatar m tn Effexor is already affecting your adrenals, this should be taken in account. Supplementing with DHEA could improve your depression symptoms by reducing your cortisol level. Testosterone also play a crucial role in mood and sex drive so I think it will help. It will also help with your memory. You must be careful with the dosage tho because too much testo or estrogen is not good.
1203197 tn?1265555829 I find it funny that you bring that up because I am also on Modafinil and Cymbalta. Try to get rid of the Seroquel and trazadone when you can and go for the Cymbalta and Provigil. Think about adding a good vitamin B complex to help with energy and you metabolism and what it can do for your brain and mood.
1042487 tn?1275279899 Yeah I'm about to start piracetam and choline... I'm still trying to find the best prices for the bulk. Do you have good prices at Colorado's?

667078 tn?1316000935 B12, iron, transfusion, etc and only after that consider Modafinil if the fatigue still hasn't improved.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I currently take 100 mg of Modafinil every morning but was advised that I could take up to 400 mg per day. The doc who prescribed mentioned one tab in the am and one in the pm but I have heard from other people who take it that they find it better to take 200 mg in the am instead of splitting it into two doses. I tried the am and pm option today but am beyond exhausted. I would love to hear what anyone has found works best for them. Thanks!
Avatar m tn my son is 21 and is also bipolar with psychosis so he deals with the paranoia more. he takes abilify and modafinil (modafinil is like aderol with out the addictive reactions) it helps him stay more focused. don't know if this helps - but feel free to contact me if i can help any.
Avatar m tn Physiology is an integral part of biology in human biology and biology itself by the way Pax. In human Biology 111 it's almost everything about physiology. You say '' It's why I suggested he or she see an expert, because what we still don't know is how blocked the artery is, and it's a very important artery.
