I have been running adrafinil for four months and the honest summary is that the effect is smaller than the internet suggests and real.
My rule now: if a claim cannot survive being written down with the numbers attached, it is marketing.
The effect size I actually noticed is roughly a third of what the write-ups imply, and it took four months to be sure.
The animal data is stronger than the human data and the human data is not nothing, it is just small.
What is the strongest human evidence anyone here has actually read, not skimmed?
Read methods.
Same here.
Same here.
Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?
Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables.
What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero? Jaw tension was my main issue with adrafinil too.
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes. Four months in on adrafinil and it lines up.
Same here.
Same here.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet.
