Modafinil vs Adrafinil

Similarities

Differences

Modafinil effects last longer

Both packed with wakefulness

Have cognitive benefits

Modafinil is a great remedy fore

extended tiredness such as jet lag,

military training and driving
Adrafinil is extremely good for

students programmers and writers

The
verdict-if
you ask me
which is
better
Modafinil or Adrafinil, I
would say its a call
between these two
legend fighter Mike
Tyson and May Weather
which you can give a fair
comparison between
them. They both
belonged to the same
era but never competed
in the same category is
the same goes for these
two popular drugs. They
are both equally good in
their own ways although
they have similar
wakefulness skills. Some
observations by users in
the effects of the two
drugs in determine what
is the right method for
your body..just
remember for your
safety to consult with
your doctor.

Modafinil Story Experience

One Modafinil user was a writer who needed

to draft a proposal for the Dalai Lama

Foundation. When after taking 70mg of
Modafinil, he able to smashed through his
writers block and finished the proposal.
I can say categorically that 1/3 of a pill
(70mg) helped me break through a
writers block I was having to complete a
draft proposal for the Dalai Lama
Foundation.

A recent
interview
from ABC
Nightline of
Dave Asprey
Q: Modafinil is a
dangerous
addictive narcotic
like meth.
A: Dave Asprey
Modafinil is not
addictive in the
stimulant category.
Taking Modafinil you
can sleep after you
taking them, its just
that you dont want to.
It is not a narcotic. It is
not addictive there is
no street value for it he
response. My wife, a
Karolinska-trained
physician who ran drug
and alcohol addiction
clinics, flat out says,
Ive never had an
addict ask me for it. It
is not addictive.

Modafinil Improves Result in

Cocaine addiction
Dr Charles Dackis and the colleagues at the
Universities of Pennsylvania Treatment Research
Centre did this study. All this people who came to
the test were seeking for treatment cocaine
addiction. Some patients receiving Modafinil told
us that if they did use cocaine it did not produce
the irresistible urge to use more, which they had
always felt before," Dr. Dackis says. "Some of the
patients told me they had flushed cocaine away.
In 25 years of treating addiction, no one ever told
me they threw away cocaine."

Modafinil
vs Placebo
"The body of
research
suggesting that
Modafinil is
effective in
treating cocaine
addiction is
growing," says
Dr. Ivan
Montoya of
NIDA's Division
of
Pharmacothera
pies and
Medical
Consequences
of Drug Abuse.

Modafinil Legal Status

The FDA approves and considered Modafinil a

Schedule IV must have doctors prescription in

order to legally buy, use or possess it.
Some users successfully imported small quantities
online
Importing Modafinil from unregistered retailer is not

recommend because it poses monetary and healthy

risk
Due to the restrictions of the purchasing Modafinil in
the US many users opted and buy Adrafinil because
it doesnt require prescription
