My expiriences with nootropics were only piracetam when I tried modafinil (modapro). Prior to that Ive been taking piracetam for 10 straight days (2,4 gr each day). During the first 8 hours I experienced all the positive stuff that I've read about it : concentration, ambition to study, et cetera. However the next day the situation was completely different. I had severe headache, tachycardia, anxiety and depression. My mood was altered, I was feeling different. My apetite was lost, yet I felt hungry. I had all the symptoms of excited adrenergic receptors, that's what I thought. Although I was able to fall asleep the sleep wasn't good. The next 2 days were the same I had chest pain and anxiety and at all I can describe it as : stress multiplied by 100. However on the 4th day since, I took modafinil, I felt relief, feeling almost completely normal except the fact that I had little confusion in my head. The symptoms however returned during the night. It was then took alprazolam and metoprolol. My ECG and BP was normal the next day. However I could still feel uneasiness in my chest and at all really stressed. I just couldn't relax no matter what I did. The next 4 days were like that except I thought I was getting better - slowly returning to my original state except the fact that my limbs are pretty cold. I just can't get to warm them, really uncomfortable especially when I try to get some sleep. As my body is returning to its normal state the sleep is getting worse (I could sleep for 3-4 hours) and I just doesnt feel like Im in my skin. Sometimes my heart rate would jump to 90, especially today when I drank black tea (I dont know if its the black tea or its just my nervous system still too sensitive). Apart from that the last two days I felt little buzz in my ears. Could that be from the elevated HR?
The next day I decided I should visit a psychologist; however he was unaware of that medicine - modafinil. I described her my symptoms and she prescribed me chlorprothixen and vitamins from the B group. What do you think should I take the chlorprothixen? My wishes are to get better without any drugs possible and given the fact that she didnt know about modafinil I dont know if I can trust her. She told me to have 15g per day, divided during the day.
Do you have any similar observations with the said drug? I couldnt find enough information on the internet. Will my body return to its original state and what do you think will be the best to facilitate the process?
