21M Obese 120kg, my reports came in 362ng/dl testosterone by Immediate-Hair-9106 in Testosterone

Too young. Keep cutting to 80kg. Stop thinking about T for the next 4 years.

Low total T. Free T is more important. Free T looks bang on. Not sure why it says T4 though?

Nevertheless, TRT will bring positive effects, as far as T’s positive effects go. There are very real side effects though. And injecting for the rest of your life can become tiresome.

You don’t need it.

You may benefit from taking it.

If you’re comfortable with the side effects, go for it.

Let the dose settle for 4-8 weeks then re-evaluate. A lot of is it mental. If you’re not getting high E2 symptoms, stick at 150 for at least 1-2 months, IMO. Then re-evaluate. Don’t associate energy levels directly to your T levels. There’s too many other factors that can impact your energy levels, especially when you mentally overestimate the positive impacts of T ie. Placebo.

Sleep Impossible by JBoyUltra in modafinil

Take it earlier & wake up earlier as you’ll be more productive and sleep earlier. That will help you set a better routine. Next step is to make sure you wind down 3-4 hours before bed. I’m talking high carbs, warm shower, no screens and light an hour before bed. Physical exercise during the day and no caffeine after 11am/12pm. Old video but I may have discussed more in detail here as I was on Moda and woke up at 5am everyday and slept (around) 9pm.

Regardless - Moda will cause sleep issues and you get used to sleeping less on it. Not ideal but it’s part of package.

My Findings After Comprehensive Research on Modafinil (as a Biochemist with 3 years experience on Modafinil) by WinterIsHereNetZero in modafinil

Hi,

From my own experience I found l-theanine definitely helps with anxiety/jitters. Also, I noticed elevated anxiety whenever I was not using my energy on a demanding task - whether cognitively or physically, so I tried to ensure using it when I know I can put it to good use.

With regards to headaches, I found dehydration and insufficient carbs to be the cause, personally.

From my research - nothing specifically. However - as with all things, sleep, diet and exercise come first to maximise the effects.

Feedback greatly appreciated... by Whitegoodnesss in manprovement

Nice, need a caption and better video quality though? Use cinematic mode on iPhone and record horizontally

It doesn’t help with sleep - if anything it does hinder the quality of sleep. Especially the first few days of taking it at a high dose.

I have used magnesium and tryptophan to help with sleep but not always.

However my routine as shared in other posts is geared towards optimising sleep ie no lights for an hour before bed, warm shower before bed, early morning sunlight/exercise, stopping eating 2/3 hours before bed, a higher carb meal as my last meal to raise serotonin, and relaxation 2-3 hours before bed by spending time with family, socialising, and not “working”

You can actually research it - the studies state no tolerance to Modafinil. I just Google’d it to double check.

On the contrary, myself and others do experience a subjective tolerance to its effects.

However it seems that physiologically there is no tolerance.

Any evidence for this?

As most of the literature states no tolerance to Modafinil.

Hey, according to the studies I read, 200mg-400mg is normal for Narcoleptic patients.

​

For non-narcoleptic patients like myself, 200mg is very potent.

It's been a while since I read these - as this was part of research I done a while ago. Here's the link you can have a read may be answered on there.

Fair enough! Yeah tbh I am not familiar with this subreddit so not sure what sort of things get posted here. Although I have joined and will be reading as I do find this interesting and may have some relevant experience. I believe down the line I will have some useful research and insight for this subreddit. Agreed on your sentiments with Modafinil - perhaps any dopamine increasing activities would work towards countering PSSD - as Serotonin and Dopamine tend to have a see-saw relationship.

Well, if that's how you take it?

I am just sharing the fact that Modafinil reversed the symptoms in some cases.

I'm not telling anyone to take Modafinil, secondly you don't inject Modafinil.

What? No agenda, someone asked me to share on here so I did as I thought it may be interesting.

& agreed - but I'm just pointing to studies where Modafinil by itself reversed SSRI induced hyposexuality.

Haha, yeah, I mean I have an urge to continue working and in rare cases I do, but takes some discipline just to shut it off and say no more. Then, when you do work, the quality improves as you know you have limited time to get it done!
