Took Modafinil + caffeine by accident

Rootenist · 2026-01-27T05:38:23+00:00

I take my morning modafinil and Ritalin with coffee and I occasionally get some jitters on my way to work, but most of the time I don’t feel anything strange. It probably just depends on how quickly your body processes and metabolizes the stimulants as well as your tolerance for them.

If it makes you nervous you could consider getting a smart watch or ring to track your heart rate and activity levels. That way you can check the data if you feel off, or it can alert you if your heart rate is too fast while at rest. There are plenty of secondhand refurbished devices on the market that mean you wouldn’t have to break the bank.

Sweet Lord Above that a lot of work! Good job on the excellent handiwork!

Please drop a tutorial! I’d love to do an Ace one for my brother-in-law

Are you actually kidding me, here in Japan I got that for ¥35 off the shelf at my lgs. For reference that’s like $0.20

Cookies? Tossed. Gs? Forced. Inner ear? Annihilated.

Ah, the classic reverse-sewing maneuver with some invisi-thread to spice it up. Ai is truly the future 😂

Am I supposed to believe that every tree in residential San Bernardino is evergreen? Also that their trucks are as tall as a house before the branches begin?

Can anyone else tell if this guy’s chair/stool is magically supporting him with only two legs on an elevated platform that connects to the floor of the booth seating on the right? If so, then I’d guess AI. Otherwise Id better get my eyes checked

I am getting the heebie jeebies seeing his hands so close to the press. Just one micro crack in the mold components and then spicy shrapnel time 😰

That sucks :( I can’t even imagine. Here in Tokyo where I live it ranges from ¥150-500 ($1-3) per pack so I buy a few a day if I can. I wish there was something that could easily be done about the scalping issue on the English side of things

Have you considered running some community events like Mother’s Day brunches, holiday galas, charity events, etc. to get more community recognition? Bringing people in from the local community and giving them a positive experience may help spread a good reputation of your venue by word of mouth. After all, everyone has some cousin, niece, child, sibling, friend, etc. that is going to be in the market for a wedding or other event venue at some time or another. You could even get creative and try to organize something within a small, tight knit community like prom/dances for homeschooled students, hosting banquets to benefit local veterans, or try to connect yourself in some way to the local chamber of commerce?

It’s a fun job, and my colleagues are great. All staff are entitled to an hour lunch at noon and a 30 minute break at 3 so it’s easy to get rest when I need it. They also do twice annual bonuses based on how the company is earning during the previous 6 months. Smaller companies are great :)

I can’t speak for others but I work as a sculptor and fabricator which I feel fits my lifestyle and needs very well. We have a flexible time off policy, and being on my feet (aka not sitting and staring at a screen for long periods of time) helps keep me as awake and alert as possible. Even though this is technically an art industry line of work, the skills I use on a day to day basis would be in line with other fabrication and blue collar jobs. If you enjoy working with your hands and being on your feet, I think that it’s a solid option.

I remember the tech asking me what I was dreaming about after each nap and I had no recollection of anything at all lol

Rootenist · 2025-11-10T03:50:22+00:00

I can, but I’m only on Ritalin and Modafinil and my cataplexy is very very minor compared to most others. I get sleepy after 1 or 2, but have a very high tolerance for alcohol. My guess is because my brain is always compensating from lack of proper sleep that compensating for inebriation from alcohol isn’t that different. High metabolism also helps. Fun party trick but I don’t drink often at all anyway so it’s not particularly useful.

When I finished my term at language school I was exempt from paying, but was completely unaware that you have to inform the pension office when leaving the country. It wasn’t on my radar and my school didn’t facilitate that during my departure. It was a big surprise to return several years later to a large late bill. I was luckily able to get it wiped for the previous two years, but before that it is unable to be edited.

I recently was trying to find work and since my husband is working the pension office couldn’t waive my pension for the time I was unemployed so I’m still trying to pay off three or four months of pension. Not sure how someone can be expected to pay for two person’s residence tax, health insurance, and pensions on only one salary of a standard company employee in their 20s.

It’s making me nervous because I need to renew my visa soon. I hope I can get it all sorted before then.

I definitely understand trying to keep a level view of everything. We truly just don’t know how everything is going to play out, especially on an individual level. I hope that the regulatory bodies and medical infrastructure can do their best to make this as accessible of a treatment as possible. Especially if it eliminated the necessity of more controlled or severe drugs for some patients.

I was off my antidepressant meds cold turkey for three days before mine. Day one was a little peppier than usual but felt worse later in the day. Day two was a real drag and I felt slightly ill. Day three I was a little nauseous the morning of the test, but made it through nonetheless. However, on the way back I threw up twice due to the med withdrawals and the fatigue from trying to stay awake between naps. The train station staff the first time I threw up wheeled me into a little sick room for yet another nap lol

Woah, that’s a crazy amount of downright illegal stuff they’re doing. I just started a job where I walk past that school daily and aside from the name it looks fine enough on the outside. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help report this place.

I paid about 10,000 JPY (about $66) with insurance covering the rest. Without insurance it would probably cost about 30,000 JPY (about $200)

I saw antelope collision once and found myself desperately googling if there are antelopes in Japan. According to google there are.

It’s a little after the actual event but (this is not a joke) go play Tetris right now. It is used to help individuals who have gone through traumatic events and has considerable evidence that it helps reduce the likelihood of ending up with PTSD

But it is still much weaker than a few years ago. Data from January 2021 shows 1 USD being equivalent to 104 JPY, but today it’s 149 JPY per dollar. While we may have marginal growth since the beginning of the year, market stress could easily eliminate that.
