Haven't tried it yet. From what I've read though - it is used for people who have trouble staying awake but don't want the jitters/appetite supressive effects that go along with prescription amphetamines. It is supposed to get you focused and awake, but without the negative side effects of those amphetamines such as tolerance and addiction.

I believe you are supposed to use between 100-200mg per day, sometimes in divided doses.

i have and do use it...especially when bulking...take it inn the morning...3-5 hrs before i workout..lets me workout harder and longer

although...if i only get 3 hrs of sleep in a night and take it when i wake up..ill be able to go n do my thang for a few hrs..then ill get tired..and nothing can keep me awake, not even modafinil. If ure really sleep deprived, imo, nothing can keep u awake...except maybe ephedra or amphetamines..but thats another story..lol

I just got some, and like it so far. It feels alot like a stimulant like ephedra, but without the jitters. I took 300mg yesterday for my baseball games, and stayed focused and alert/energized through 2 games with a heat index of 98. I'm 34 playing against 20 year olds, so I needed the boost.

I dont plan on taking it everyday though, just for baseball, and sleep deprived days after the firehouse.


btw, anyone know if I can get my doc to write me a script? if so, what should I say to get it?

Thanks

yeah i was thinkin bout usin it for football....

its effective allows for performance on minimal sleep. IMO there are some issues with its effects on brain chemistry. at moderate to high doses, as well as with lower dose extended use, it gives the user a very "detached" perspective of the world. Like to an extent you are "watching what happens".

this is probably why they were/are giving it to fighter and bomber pilots, its makes it easier to run near constant sorties as well as to drop the bombs

hmn....i think i will pass then

 

[macrophage69alpha]

just to be clear, know people that love it. being able to be active/productive 20-21hrs a day can be quite beneficial. there are however potential caveats. Some people dont mind feeling a bit distant and detached.

Also, if you take it often you will quickly build a tolerance to it, at first it seems like a wonder drug but after a few times the effect is much less and taking more ussually causes side effects like nausea/headache. I'm not 100% sure if this is true, but i've read from good sources that the military has already switched back to dextroamphetamine in most cases.
