Hi Guys,
I started taking modafinil Nov 2012 for treatment with CFS; which was at the end of my first year of university. I was able to study very well in the mornings and mathematics and science was always very easy. I could visualize concepts and bring together ideas cohesively. I had always had really bad fatigue and it would always hinder my performance.
Around March/April 2013, I bought modalert online because prescription medication was really expensive ($150 a month). Over the 3 month that I took it, I had the impression that it worked the same as the prescription medication. I did get the distinctive smell of the metabolites of modafinil in my urine which confirmed that modafinil was inside. Around June, I accidentally took 400mg instead of 200mg. In the exam I lost my memory. I could not remember each sentence that I was reading and I couldn't even put simple concepts together. This caused me to fail 3/4 exams. The one exam I didn't fail I got a HD in and that was the exam before the overdose.
The decreased level of cognitive function has persisted and has not changed since June 2013. I recently bought rhodiola because I am under the impression my dopamine receptors are fried. After around the 3rd day I had snippets of a few hours at a time where I could concentrate properly and bring concepts together like I used to, but the really heavy feeling in the brain that started when I overdosed seemed to remain.
I think this is a little odd in regards to what other people have experienced with modafinil, so I was wondering that maybe the prolonged consumption of online modalert had some heavy metals which slowly built up in the system to the point that my liver could no longer handle.
As a brief history, I have had chronic brain fog and low energy. Poor sleep quality even though I can easily get 8-10 hours of sleep. To put it simply, I am probably the perfect example of person who naturally has high/very high acetyl choline levels. I have taken upto 3-4gm alpha GPC at a time and have no effects. I am prone to be reclusive even though I know I am a very social person; primarily due to slow thinking induced by brain fog.
I will be getting the uridine stack in the mail shortly, so I hoping that I will be able to recieve some relief soon.
Does anyone have opinions? Any feedback would be tremendous.
