An Experiment With Smart Drugs - Lessons From Modafinil | Quint Fit

On episode 6 of Vishnu Ki Secret Life, Vishnu discusses Modafinil, a smart drug.
Often called the real-life Limitless pill, it’s a prescription drug that’s commonly used to treat narcolepsy and a range of other issues including sleep disorders, and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
It’s also used, off prescription, as a ‘cognitive enhancer'. Which is what we discuss on this podcast.

    So those who are confused whether to take or not. I am 20 and tried it 3-4 times. I suggest you to take it a day before exam and study under its effect. Then till night its effect would be gone. On exam day take it 45 mins before exam. It perfectly worked for me. Caution:- don't take it regularly. Just use it occasionally on tough examinations

    To stay up the entire night to cover a lot of syllabus. So people take it at night. Although it can cause sleep deprivation. So get slept for 3hr or so and later took it to stay awake. That's what I guess!!

    taking it in the afternoon is like taking a coffeine at midnight, given the half-time, so even worse with modafinil.

    That sounds exactly how I became a lawyer 😂 except I didn't have any nootropics. Now i am a corporate lawyer and i am considering taking some. Also, why would you take it at night? You don't need to be on it all the time.

    Why did you take it at night. Everything I've read and seen on youtube say take it first thing in morning and it wears off after 8 to 12 hours and you are able to have a normal sleep cycle. There is no withdrawal whit many people taking it only 3 or 4 times a week. Sounds like you didn't do any research before you decided to try it. No coffee, plenty of water and eat and you will have little or no side effects.

    Why is every side effect that you're experiencing from this drug the same as my everyday life? I hyper Focus overthink and obsess. I get irritable and I beat myself up if I'm not doing something. I'm anxious and I have anxiety. Everything you were saying sounded so familiar to me. But the difference is you were on a drug and I'm not. So what the hell is wrong with me then? Lol

    Hello, does it affect the memory? Cause my teacher told me that it makes you forget all the things you studied even though you study overnight. Also does it have any serious long term CNS effects.

    No, Modafinil does not affect memory, however self-inflicted emotional distress like Anxiety, Overthinking, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders do. Basically your own biology is self-defeating, in terms of memory. Short term memories normally fade quickly, but they fade even quicker when you're in emotional distress trying to cram as much information into your brain as possible the night before the big exam. Self-inflicted emotional distress causes the stress hormone cortisol to be released. It is this cortisol that affects memory, severely. Clinical studies found that elevated cortisol was associated with poorer overall cognitive functioning, as well as with poorer episodic memory, executive functioning, language, spatial memory, processing speed, and social cognition.

    I think it is not appropriate to say it here, there are other natural alternatives like exercise comprising of both cardio and weight training and yoga, healthy diet consisting of Proteins carbs fibres and fats and multivitamins, minerals like zinc magnesium calcium and other supplements like HTP-5, acetyl choline, creatine, L-theanine+caffeine, gingko biloba, ginseng, ashwagandha, rhodiola rosea, fish oil, cold shower, breathing exercises. In addition you may incorporate reading, writing and teaching something, as it helps in improving cognition and brain function. But please, don't take it unless prescribed by a doctor. I couldn't stress more, I've addicted to that thing for a year, and it affects my health in a negative way mentally and physically. I was lucky I have recovered from it through the above mentioned strategies, I am now healthy and happy and mentally strong than ever before. I should have never take it in the first place.
