Long post, sorry. Adrafinil: what actually has human evidence behind it, and what is extrapolation from animals?
What the stimulant class does pharmacologically does not require the subjective effect to be large to be real.
Most of the popular protocols are borrowed from clinical populations and applied to healthy people without comment.
Sleep is the limiting factor and it compounds quietly for a fortnight before it is obvious.
How do you separate the compound effect from the routine around it?
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation. Currently on adrafinil myself.
If it needs three other compounds to notice, you have not tested the first one.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet.
Reconstitution arithmetic is only half the problem. The other half is what was in the vial.
What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero? Currently on adrafinil myself.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Test one thing at a time. It feels slower and it is the only way to learn anything.
Same here.
A certificate of analysis answers one question and gets quoted as though it answers four.
