I am currently on the road and stopped for a poke bowl at a restaurant. I have been taking india-sourced Acarbose frequently during this trip, and try to keep the strip of acarbose tablets in my pocket.
As I started the eat my poke bowl I remembered I needed to take my acarbose. I pulled the acarbose out and quickly chewed and swallowed two tablets. The taste was surprisingly unpleasant…not at all like Acarbose normally tastes. So I looked more closely at the package and realized I have just chewed up two 120mg tablets of modafinil. I get the feeling I won’t be sleeping tonight.
Talking about taking the wrong tablet, I am
In the middle of a VP face peel and on day 2 I decided to take Volterol for my burning face, I was thinking Tylenol, 2 tablets when I realized I had taken 2 x 100 mg of volterol. (English version) I was really worried as that is far too much pain killer , I immediately got on to AI on my iPhone and Said I had accidentally taken 200 Volterol instead of saying 200 mg . it said go straight to emergency. I told my husband but I thought that was a bit too radical so I decided to have something to eat instead as I had only had cheese and biscuits for dinner. I read the AI response again and realized I had said that I had taken 200 Volterol instead of 200 mg AI must have thought I had taken 200 tablets .i won’t make that mistake again. I slep well
I’ve been trying it out primarily because it is works partially through the orexin pathway, so wanted to see its effects. And for those situations where I’ve had a lousy sleep but need to be very productive.
So I’ve tried it a few times. Not a major impact (at 1/2 pill, or 60mg). No side effects, I just feel fully awake for much longer than I would normally. I frequently get head aches when I am sleep deprived.
My take away is it’s good to have when you really need it, but I won’t use it very often. I want to try the new orexin drugs (Not the DORAs) at some point when we have access to them.
I bet the orexin agonist drugs feel a lot cleaner than modafinil.
Your post inspired me to have half a tablet of modafinil this morning. I bit one in half since I didn’t want the full experience. The taste is weirdly bitter and lingers for a long time. You’re telling me acarbose tastes worse than this?
RapAdmin, That is a lot of modafinil. I hope you’ve recovered well. What brand of modafinil comes in 120 mg tablets? I’ve only found them in 200 mg tablets.
I find that nearly all the time I have tried AI,I get wrong or very incomplete responses and I have tried the big three. today I was trying to find out how to set run cadence on my iwatch11 and after messing with the watch and the phone app, gave up and asked AI. OMG! the AI was all over the place and wrong. even when I corrected it, it would give me the same wrong type info later !
