Yeah, you can't get an online prescription for controlled drugs so that's why I was thinking of adrafinil. I was stunned when I saw the price of brand-name Modafinil on a Us-based online pharmacy versus an overseas one. Stunned. So technically it's illegal to import them, but apparently people do it all the time. If you got a legit prescription from a real life doctor, though, you could order Modafinil totally legally without any gray area and pay 80 cents a pill.
If schedule IV drugs aren't a bit deal to order, and the worst that can happen is you get a letter saying it was seized and that's that, what keeps people from ordering Xanax and Phentermine or another drugs of that nature online without worry? Those are schedule IV. I mean.... maybe they tend to let things slide like Modafinil since it's really not a big deal? From what I understand, it's no more recreational than caffeine. In otherwords, not really, and it also doesn't carry the CNS side effects of caffeine, or at least not to the samee extent. I was only planning on ordering like a month's supply at a time. Like 30 or 60 pills. I don't really think I'll be using it daily, anyway. If I did, I'd probably take half of a dose. I know a lot of people who abuse ritalin and adderall to get an edge, and people talk about this stuff like it provides the focus that amphetamine and methylphenidate does, without the high, cns effects and risk of addiction. Can you say perfect? It seems that it makes you feel good, but not euphoric. There's definately a difference. I think of it as being in a natural-feeling good state of mood, when you would ordinarily be neutral feeling. Most people stay pretty neutral most of the day when nothing happy or sad is going on. But, others say it's like good, strong coffee without the shakes. Individual responses, I guess. I don't feel bad about taking something to get an edge. If others wanted to do the same, they have the opportunity. If I was taking speed I'd feel pretty bad, but that's not what I'm doing. I just want to be legit, which is why I thought Adrafinil was a good idea since I don't need a script, and have blood work done anyway (I get ALL levels of EVERYTHING checked once a year because my thyroid is pretty much dead lol. Been taking hormones for it since I was about in the sixth grade! I also take many pills (propecia, wellbutrin, albuterol, singulair, hydroxyzine, etc. All for legit reasons and from a real doctor) so I have to make sure I'm healthy. If my liver function is a bit off and he's concerned, I'll tell him what I'm taking. I can order all the adrafinil I can swallow from my understanding, without a prescription, and it's totally legal. I'll say that if Modafinil is healthier, I'd like a prescription for that. He's pretty loose with his prescription pad, but I'd still feel nervous asking for anything controlled when I clearly am not narcoleptic, and my real reason is so I can get an edge over the competition. Especially since he knows I want to be a doctor. He might have an "Well if I can do you without drugs, YOU can do it without drugs!" attitude. That's why I don't want to flat out ask for a script for Modafinil. He's a great doc and I've seen for years and years, and I don't want to introduce any awkward feelings or suspicion of anything.
HPY86, if you use western union it's pretty much anonymous. Or ask of you can use a money order or one of those prepaid credit cards you can get at pretty much any wal-mart, drug store, etc. Ask if you can send a money order, or if you're really paranoid cash (although I don't recommend cash). No reason for your parents to know what you do with they money as long as they give it to you to use at your own discretion. Personally I'll be using my own cash from my job. My parents already pay for everything. College, health and (one I get a car) auto insurance, medication, pretty much every necessity, I just have a job for my own spending money.
It wasn't so much any one country I was worried about, except China for obvious reasons. India seems to be legit as I will definately look into Quality Health! Nootropics seem AWESOME. So clean, and apparently they really work. It's like we're getting a sneak peak into the future of lifestyle drugs. Neato.I don't believe it will ever be OTC. It's my understanding that Adrafinil last longer that Modafinil. Since it's a produg, it's metabolized into Modafinil, so you feel the Modafinil even though you take the Adrafinil. Taking Modafinil just skips the middleman and saves your liver the hassle of breaking Adrafinil into Modafinil. I think of it as delayed released Modafinil. Looked it up and Adrafinil isn't approved for use in the US, and since it'ss obviously not a schedule I drug, they can't regulate something they haven't approved for use. In other words, no one is supposed to take it because it's not approved, but if you decide to that's your business. You're taking your health into your own hands and can't complain when something bad happens. Wikipedia says "Adrafinil was discovered in the late 1970s by scientists working with the French pharmaceutical company Group Lafon. The drug was first offered as an experimental treatment for narcolepsy in France in 1986. Later on, Lafon scientists developed modafinil as a stand-alone drug because the latter drug was understood to be a more highly selective alpha-1 adrenergic and also featured less in the way of side effects such as stomach pain, skin irritations, feelings of tension, and an increase in liver enzyme levels." It ALSO explicitly states that Adrafinil is not under DEA jurisdiction, and may be imported by private citizens for individual use without a prescription. Modafinil is probably controlled because if it wasn't, let's face it, everyone who knew about it would probably take it, but it is so the next best thing is Adrafinil. Most people have never heard of either, anyway. Unless they saw The Invasion.
It also says it's metabolites contain sulphur, so it makes your urine smell funky lmao. I also thought about trying Racetams, but they seem more like supplements that real drugs. I'm kind of iffy about taking supplements. Kind of like drink Chamomile tea to become sleepy when you could take Benadryl instead.... Maybe I'm totally wrong and need to try them before I judge. I feel so pharmacologically transhumanist talking about this stuff.
