Long post, sorry. Provigil (modafinil): what actually has human evidence behind it, and what is extrapolation from animals?
Cold storage, light protection, and a date on the vial. Boring, and it removes half the variables.
Two weeks is not enough time to attribute anything to a compound unless the effect is dramatic.
I would rather have a narrow conclusion and be right than a broad one and be interesting.
What would change your mind about this?
Same here.
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation.
Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?

Read the methods section. It is the only part that says whether the conclusion is allowed to exist.
Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all?
This board overrates bloodwork. A number moving is not the outcome you wanted. A fortnight in on modafinil and it lines up.
Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing. Appetite suppression was my main issue with modafinil too.

Loose evidence is not nothing, but a washout either side is the only reason to trust your own take.

Baseline first. Same for me with modafinil, unfortunately.
Most of what is called evidence here is one person, one vial, one month.
