Effective Stimulants

[leex1230]

I’ve got to pull an all night 9 hr drive to Milwaukee next weekend and need some help. In your guys opinions what are some good stimulants that don’t have stomach problems. When I used to take ephedrine I would get nauseous and caffeine doesn’t keep me awake anymore. Any good diet supplements etc that do a good job of raising your energy level without turning my stomach into a knot ?

gee... weird question. but if u dont want to use caffiene nor ephedrine, I'd say green tree extract. Or clen?

I hear ritalin and allderal (sp?) will keep you awake for long periods. There is another stimulant, and I can't remember the name! On one of the elite fitness emails awhile back it said "XXXX makes sleep obsolute". I think it's the stuff they give pilots. Maybe it will come to me.

Nicotine gum works great for drives.

Mazindol, too.

I’ve never used it, but there’s a drug called modafinil…

A double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation of the efficacy of modafinil for sustaining the alertness and performance of aviators: a helicopter simulator study.

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE: In 1998, the FDA approved modafinil for treating excessive daytime sleepiness in narcoleptics, and this has raised questions about the appropriateness of this compound for enhancing alertness in sleep-deprived controls. This study explored the efficacy of modafinil for maintaining the performance of volunteers required to accomplish highly demanding tasks despite sleep loss.

OBJECTIVE: The principal objective was to determine whether prophylactic doses of modafinil would attenuate decrements in aviator performance and arousal throughout 2 days and 1 night without sleep.

METHODS: Six pilots were exposed to two 40-h periods of continuous wakefulness. In one, three 200-mg doses of modafinil were given and in the other, matching placebos were administered. Helicopter simulator flights, resting EEGs, and Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaires were evaluated.

RESULTS: Modafinil attenuated sleep deprivation effects on four of six flight maneuvers, reduced slow-wave EEG activity, and lessened self-reported problems with mood and alertness in comparison to placebo. The most noticeable benefits occurred between 0330 and 1130 hours, when the combined impact of sleep loss and the circadian trough was most severe. The most frequently observed drug side effects were vertigo, nausea, and dizziness. These could have been related to: 1) the motion-based testing, 2) the use of a simulator rather than an actual aircraft (i.e., "simulator sickness"), and/or 3) the administration of more than 400 mg modafinil.

CONCLUSIONS: Modafinil is a promising countermeasure for sleep loss in normals; however, additional studies aimed at reducing side effects are needed before it should be used in aviators.

That addiction is a myth.

Addiction is associated with a habit, ie, you have eat, and then smoke or have sex then smoke. If you use a chem for it's intended use, that is to solve a problem and not for some high, then it works just fine.

Ie, opiates like oxycontin ARE NOT addictive if the people take them for the pain and all too many have used them in such a way which is why they are still on the market. The problem then becomes with people who take them to get high, just like with most forms nicotine comes in.

modafinil is great. Not sure about its availibility. Aderol is all over the place and will definitely keep you up for 9 hours. I wouldn't make it through college w/ out aderol.

While we are talking about stimulants... My buddy's younger cousin has been taking adderoll for some time, and just recently his doctor prescribed him a new drug. I don't remember the name, but the effects are supposed to be the same as adderoll, however you only need to take one pill every 3days. My buddy used this shit during finals week and said it was legit. He said he could even fall asleep w/out problems. Anyone know the name of this. I'll be hanging out with this guy this weekend, so I'll make another post this weekend or early next week with some real info on this drug.

MikeyG - when are we gonna see some post cycle pics. Those mid cycle pics were SICK!!!

nicotine gum is way expensive compared to coffee.

buy no doz and drink a lot of water.
