Bloodwork question about armodafinil. Baseline, four months in, and the numbers moved in a direction I did not expect.
Cold storage, light protection, and a date on the vial. Boring, and it removes half the variables.
The animal data is stronger than the human data and the human data is not nothing, it is just small.
Sample size, blinding, and who paid for it. Those three questions kill most of the confidence in most of these threads.
Willing to accept that my own experience is the weakest evidence in the room.
Read methods. Currently on armodafinil myself.
Test one thing at a time. It feels slower and it is the only way to learn anything.
A plausible mechanism is not an outcome, and this class is the textbook example.
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes.
If it needs three other compounds to notice, you have not tested the first one.
What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at.
I would take the narrow conclusion. Broad ones are more interesting and less true. Sleep pressure was my main issue with armodafinil too.
