What people actually say

“Sleep is definitely on top for me as well. All the noots in the world don't make up for a day following a terrible night's sleep.”

“Learning how to sleep well, meditation & exercise has been the best treatment for me when it comes to a fundamental shift in mindset.”

“Having solid sleep for 2+ weeks always makes my afternoon energy dips less noticeable.”

“just make sure to sleep well (I have a sleep stack). Sleep deprivation reduces the effectiveness of stimulants and dopaminergic nootropics. Take a mid-day nap if they are become in less effective.”

“Now that i stick to coffee, excercise, and getting proper sleep, i actually make much better grade than i used to.”

“Sleep is very important, but I would also say that bodyfat is an important factor.”

“The symptoms abated when I drank lots of water and got some sleep.”

“Sleep, moreso than anything else. Every hour less than 8 that I get, makes it work less.”

“I left everything else the same and doubled my panax ginseng dose to about 2000 mg 3x daily. This really made the difference.”

“some of them I don't notice, some of them give me pumps but then I crash afterwards, so I end up not taking it consistently.”

“I think nothing is better than Ginseng- for me it's best to take it every other day to feel the effects, works very well with Ginkgo- makes your mind super sharp.”

“I tried GS15 Ginseng and didn't like the effects it gave me. Gave me weird disassociation for some reason.”

“I've tried tyrosine and stimulating adaptogens (panax and rhodiola) and alcar and b-vitamins and TMG but nothing works.”

“I've tried ALCAR, Panax Ginseng and ALPHA GPC recently but they didn't give me the boost that I needed.”

“The ginseng may give some increased clarity but that has always been extremely short lived in my experience.”

“A good quality ginseng (high in ginsenosides) gives me such a clean, calm, focused energy.”

“It's like nature's adderall. I can't believe I've ever written a paper without the stuff! vs I tried it I didn't notice any particular benefit.”

“It all started with just creatine, Ginkgo, and Ginseng. Each one made a significant difference in my life and mental well-being.”

“Panax (Korean) ginseng extract on empty stomach early in the day...has helped me immensely”

“I've previously used fenugreek, panax ginseng, ashwagandha and tongkat ali. This is the first one that noticably worked next to fenugreek”

“I had a friend attempt to get off adderal and he found panax ginseng and ginkgo combined worked to give him a similar energy and focus”

“oh yeah i love taking it when i'm on a vyvanse break. i sometimes get a huge creativity boost from it, lots of energy, and a wild sex drive. i like to keep the dose at 300mg”

“The supplements that have felt most like Adderall to me are Tyrosine and Panax Ginseng”

“Panax Ginseng... gives me a strong sense of motivation and energy but in a calm, relaxed, focused kind of way.. But don't take everyday”

“I experience significantly less anxiety with armodafinil than modafinil, and some others do as well.”

“Felt "wakefulness" in the simplest sense of the word. That's actually the best I can describe it, so it does **exactly** what it purports to do.”

“I experienced huge focus and drive—I rattled through my work tasks back-to-back. Great mental clarity and recall.”

“Armodafinil (Waklert) at 75mg gives me 2-3 hours of a boost similar to a primed caffeine feeling, without jitters, followed by 10-12 hours of being in a completely awakened state.”

“I've been taking Armodafinil for 6 years daily. I've noticed all the same issues like less being more. I only take 1/4 of a 150 milligram tablet 3-5 times a day.”

“Perhaps it made me feel more awake, somewhat more focused but overall it didn't seem to have too much of a positive effect.”

“Armodafinil is far superior for me- smooth, long lasting alertness and no crash.”

“I used (ar)modafinil to cycle with caffeine during examinations. Worked pretty well.”

“Modafinil helped me out to some extent, but it wasn't what I was looking for.”

“I thought R-modafinil worked much better for me. However, after a couple weeks of taking it I went back on racemic. It seems to work just as well now, without side effects like headaches.”

“I did try Nuvigil (armodafinil) and it was helpful at making me feel alert through the slightly drowsy feeling that adderall can sometimes bring.”

“Armodafinil has been a life changer. Being in a somewhat similar situation, I went for it by itself, and it turned the table completle regarding focus, mood and sociability.”

“Armodafinil is great on it's own for mood and focus to me.”

“Today I experimented with 75mg Armodafinil on top of my stack and I felt a little boost (in energy and motivation)”

“I use armodafinil now with Rx... it works really well for mine.”

“My current stack works to keep me going during the day...the armodafinil lets me ignore fatigue.”
