How To Boost Modafinil

How to boost Modafinil and enhance the effects of Modafinil. The smart drug Modafinil has long been known as the king of nootropics. It’s thought to be unmatched in its cognitive enhancing properties. But some people may find that after using the nootropic for some time, they start building tolerance and don’t experience the full effects of Modafinil anymore. To keep increasing the dosage is ill advised. However, there are other ways to boost the effects of Modafinil and this is what we’ll cover in this article. Keep reading.

What is Modafinil?

Modafinil is an FDA-approved medication that promotes wakefulness. Some people use it off-label to help them focus and concentrate better, get more done in the day, and even lose weight.

It is also used off-label to help promote wakefulness in adults suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), shift work sleep disorder (SWSD), or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and to improve attention, memory, and mood in people with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Modafinil is a controlled substance. It is sold online as a “dietary supplement” or in pharmacies under the brand name Provigil.

The smart drug has also been found to be effective in reducing fatigue and increasing executive function skills. Some of the benefits that one might experience when taking Modafinil might include:

• An increase in focus
• Improvement in long-term memory
• Increased cognitive functions such as planning
• Improved feelings of fatigue

Modafinil Side Effects

Modafinil is generally well-tolerated but there are some potential side-effects. These are:

• headache,
• dizziness,
• upper respiratory tract infection,
• nausea,
• diarrhea,
• nervousness,
• anxiety,
• agitation,
• dry mouth, and
• trouble sleeping (insomnia).

Modafinil Dosage

Let’s start with dosage. For most people, a single tablet of Modafinil 200mg or Armodafinil 150mg is enough for the entire day. However, for some people that may be too much. Start of with half a tablet (100mg Modafinil or 75mg Armodafinil) and see how you feel.

After using Modafinil for a few weeks, you may find that the dosage you’ve been taking is not working as well as when you first started taking Modafinil. This is usually when people start upping the dosage. However, taking larger doses of Modafinil usually increases the chance of experiencing side effects. So, instead of upping the dosage, try going 5-7 days without Modafinil and let your tolerance reset.

Modafinil Sleep and Stay Well Hydrated

The most common reasons for experiencing side effects on Modafinil is when you don’t get enough water and sufficient sleep. Of course, during busy periods, there are times when you need to get through the day with only a few hours of sleep. Modafinil may help you feel good even when you lack sleep. However, it is not a substitute for sleep. Try to not make it a habit of barely sleeping and then using Modafinil to make it through the day.

Furthermore, one of the most common side effects people experience when using Modafinil is headaches. This can often be prevented by drinking enough water.

What To Stack With Modafinil?

Caffeine and Modafinil

A combination of caffeine and Modafinil maximizes productivity. In fact, caffeine and many nootropics seem to work excellent together. Using this combination will give you an instant boost.

Choline and Modafinil 

Many Modafinil users swear by choline to help lessen their headaches due to Modafinil use, despite the fact that there is currently not enough evidence to back this claim.

L-Theanine and Modafinil + Caffeine

Think about including L-Theanine. Caffeine and L-Theanine are the most well-liked nootropic (cognitive enhancers) stack in the most well-liked nootropic forums. How come? People love the energy and focus boost that coffee provides, but they hate the jitteriness it can cause when consumed in excess.

Same as with Caffeine, some people may experience anxiety after taking Modafinil. The L-Theanine and Modafinil is a perfect combo to reduce anxiety while also making the energy “clean” and amplifying the dopaminergic influence on productivity.

How to Boost Modafinil
