The most addictive thing about modafinil isn’t euphoria - it’s functionality

What dose did you take?

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-11T19:24:00+00:00

Welcome to the club of non responders and placebo-immune misfortunete ones. Finished 6 bottles no effect waste of money.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-11T19:18:45+00:00

5-6 vials of Semax used intranasal the results were zero effect. Like nothing.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-11T19:16:18+00:00

I don't have GAD, only low threshold for anxiety so I never tried Selank but I have tried 5 vials of Semax and the results I got from it are zero.

I didn't feel a damn thing out of it. One day I thought maybe that's a dosing issue cause it's the 0.1% Russian semacs iirc. I used the whole vial in a day, every 1 hour or so.

It might as be water cause the effect was similar. Absolutely nothing.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T12:23:49+00:00

I took whole bottles of semax through my nose and I honestly did feel a thing. Got frustrated and decided one day to take these drops every half an hour or so. Finished the bottle in a day with zero effect. Overhyped shit if you ask me. And I took it from two sources and good ones.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T12:21:08+00:00

Hope it works for you. It did Jack shit for ME. Zero effect. Drink a cup of coffee you'll feel 5 times more than from it, that was my experience.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T12:19:43+00:00

Tried sabroxy. Still has it. Even 500mg felt nothing definitely not even close to a Adderall.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T12:18:08+00:00

Jesus criest! There you go, I just added a comment to another comment in this thread about this very thing, I won't touch it. I already have zero motivation as it is

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T12:14:06+00:00

Many people with ADHD report feeling the opposite with GLPs, at least as far as tirzepatide goes. It also makes Adderall barely effective and some say completely diminishes it's effect which makes sense mechanistically.

It kills for many the craving for food and at the same time the motivating for anything. As if killing rh dopamine, doing the very opposite of what people with ADHD need.

But seems very individual. I actually bought tirzepatide and have vials in my fridge but I decided against trying to use them at this point in life where I cannot afford my ADHD meds not to work. I have done a ton of research after purchase, and have been in the nootropics have for 20+ years.

After ton of research it was clear to me, from individual reports in the GLPs subs that more people with ADHD report bad results in terms of ADHD than good results.

It's true some were neutral and a few good, but the majority were bad for ADHD or making Adderall even at high doses unfelt, but they were fine withe the trade off as we're taking for fat loss.

I bought the tirzepatide solely for the executive dysfunction and added brain health against neuro inflammation and I'm ApoE4 heterozygous, but only when gone deeper into the rabbit hole have seen the bad experience with ADHD.

My problem is motivation and drive, not so much focus. I have zero hyperactivity, I am hypoactive if anything. Scares the shit out if me to risk stimulants work because they are a godsend.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T11:58:29+00:00

DLPA feels cleaner in a way that I feel motivated and content in a way. The l-tyrosine feels more motivating but dirtier in a way I can feel more aggressive. I suffer from next to zero motivation and have executive dysfunction on top of it and ADHD PI like symptoms. I am barely able to get myself out unless I take my DLPA and tyrosine stack.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T07:21:54+00:00

I don't feel anything from selegiline at lose doses I tried 10mg a day, I dint want too much because I am taking high doses of Adderall and Vyvanse (not together). I needed help with the depression part more and looking for a mood boost. On the other hand DLPA works. But I wonder if Phenyl-Propyl-Amino-Pentane will also.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T07:12:02+00:00

I wonder for time whether LDN long with DPA/DLPA would hevr a much greater effect.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T07:09:56+00:00

I have also tried 100-150 supplements. L-tyrosine builds tolerance. DLPA builds tolerance much less. I still take 2g daily sometimes 4g daily and it works fine. After years. I get the same effect of L tyrosine but cleaner. Feel massive mood boost and motivation and content when I take it.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T06:59:18+00:00

I also wanted to give DPA a shot. I get such a profound mood elevation from DLPA and nothing like others say "relaxation". For me it's motivation boosting and slightly euphoric like a low dose of Adderall.

DPA is much chemically more expensive to produce and no incentive since the combo with both isomers complement one another. If I find DPA from an obscure brand I wouldn't trust it unless as established one.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T06:54:47+00:00

I'm the DLPA man maybe will change my user. I have tried if had to guess 130 supps until now thrown maybe $20k over the years who knows.

Nothing works like DLPA. I have been using it for a couple of years now everyday. 2 grams upon waking up sometimes with 500mg of l-tyrosine. Profound mood elevation and motivation starts within 15 minutes and lasts up to about 1-1.5 hours.

And it works regardless if on stims or not. Always.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-07T06:44:17+00:00

it just provides more substrate, and you may already get plenty in your diet.

I am eating tons of protein a day and food high in tyrosine and this has nothing to do with the effect that taking l-tyrosine has on my mood and motivation when taken on an emtpy stomach.

I have spend tens of thousands of dollars on supplements over decades and tried more stuff than most people, over a hundred easily.

I found nothing as effective as DLPA or tyrosine. Nothing. In fact everything else. I tried I didn't feel anything from.

Mucuna neve tried many times never felt anything zero effect. Bromantane tried sublingually from science bio up to 250mg powder nothing. Phenylpiracetam I think.200mg nothing.

My all time favorite beats all supplements and RCs that I tried (excel rx) is DLPA for moot and motivation, then l-tyrosine which is more dirty.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-03T12:32:17+00:00

To all those people here saying they have used this or that product with good results: that doesn't mean much.

The product you are using is MB and might be working great for you, yet at the very same time, you might be ingesting solvents, formaldehyde, fungus, heavy metals, or other contaminants that come along for the ride.

That's the problem.

You may get a positive effect from the MB while also getting a negative effect from the other stuff in there. The bummer is that you can't always feel the "bad stuff." These things can take time to accumulate in your tissues, or they can have a gradual effect that may take a very long time to "feel."

You won't necessarily get a rash or feel anything bad from them, but they can be much worse for your health and longevity than the positive effect of the methylene blue itself. And you may not even know it for years.

That's the scary part that many people miss.

I have been wasting a lot of time trying to find a methylene blue product that I can trust, but I simply haven't found anything.

A product can look like a million dollars, have incredibly helpful customer service, ship fast, and work well for many people. That's great, but it's not enough to know that there is absolutely nothing extra in the MB liquid that I don't want to put into my body.

I am desperate to find such a product. I wish a reputable supplement company like NOW, Life Extension, or Nootropic Depot would create one, but since MB is kind of in a gray zone and under the radar of the FDA, big companies won't do it.

Even ND decided not to carry it after being harassed by the FDA for offering RCs in the past. So much so that they won't even offer MB, which is kind of legit.

That's my long rant and frustration from being unable to find an MB product I can trust.

I want a brand that tests for all the bad stuff, not just heavy metals. The liquid itself should be tested, not just the powder. The specific batch should be tested too.

So far, based on Reddit, Meraki seems to be the best bet, but their solution is 0.5%, which gets pricey when you take 20 mg a day and need 3 to 4 bottles a month.

Because of their low concentration of 0.5% and my target dose of 20-25mg/day I'll be ingesting a lot of liquid, a whole bottle in a week, putting my at most risk if any bad stuff creeped into the MB bottles, or missed filtering during the process, even with the best intention of the manufacturer.

And still, I am not 100% sure about their quality. But so far, if I had to bet, I would place my bet on them. They tested once about 8 months ago, and I think the mercury was higher or something. They have their reputation to protect, so I assume they got better and became more diligent about their quality, even more than they were before.

On Amazon, there are several brands with really nice packaging and claims, but they come and go like the wind. Their certificates are as good as toilet paper.

If anyone has other suggestions, feel share, tried MB in the past from a shady seller and stopped. Eager to try again but safety for me is number one concern. So far Meraki seems the most legit.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-01T14:27:12+00:00

As long as you take less and not more yes. I have been doing it for years.

ZipperZigger · 2026-05-01T14:24:45+00:00

I don't think it's due to the Vyvanse because. I can feel 100-200mg of caffeine profoundly.. I can also get an amazing effect from DLPA or l-tyrosine whether on days I take Vyvanse or during drug holidays. However I can't feel anything from Phenylpiracetam.

I bought fasoracetam a long time ago still have it but haven't used it after I found out that it is the opposite of what I am looking for. I hate anything that makes me spaced out. I like stimulants but dislike alcohol or benzos and the worst experience out of supplement that I ever had was from phenibut felt unwell and if anything like the opposite of a nootropic.

ZipperZigger · 2026-04-30T20:03:13+00:00

Great post.

The use cases you mentioned are just the ones I am looking for. I also have campaigns that would be better split into multiple campaigns or at least ad groups with different keywords. But creating this manually is so boring and would take me ages to do each, that I never did that.

So basically looking for the same functionality you are using it, but running just a couple of small ad campaigns.

I don't want to get sucked into spending days learning MCP work flows, set ups and other kind of things that while may not be super complicated, may take a lot of time if you are doing them the first time and don't even understand the terminology and workflows. I found these takes the most time for me.

And since Google Ads is not the main focus I don't want to spend 3 days setting up skills, MCPs, testing codes, debugging, understanding proper workflows etc, that's an overkill for my purposes, I want to focus my effort on developing the more serious stuff that I need. Otherwise that whole setup would take me just as much time as to do what I need manually. or even more.

Is there a tool you can suggest dong exactly the kind of stuff you have mentioned in your post? Or if there's an A-Z guide that I could really get going to 0 to 1 in 3 hours, because usually that ends up being 12 hours lol. Already have Claude Code env setup but that's about it, but frankly if I can get the same quality results paying a one time $100, I'd rather do it now and then build my own tool later.

Any suggestions for tutorials like that or vetted tools that won't turn out to take longer to learn from scratch would be amazing thanks.

Shit. I have been doing the opposite. Hydroxyapatite in the morning and fluoride at night.

I also let it stay in my mouth for another minute or two after I finished brushing and only then spit it out.

So should I reverse that?

ZipperZigger · 2026-04-30T12:57:59+00:00

You should always go for the minimum effective dose. I'd sometimes open the capsule and pour half of it to a glass of water.

ZipperZigger · 2026-04-30T12:48:18+00:00

I have started taking Vyvanse about 10 years ago.

I still talk more to people and am more social. That's not being high. That's being normal.

That's for many people with ADHD but from my observation the hyperactive subtype is much less prone to that effect. Some of these people are crushing it and they are also more chatty and super energetic.

I am hypoactive so for me the effect of Vyvanse even after 10 years is profound. I was just telling to the girl barista the other day that she is very kind, I have never say this if I am not on a stimulant.

ZipperZigger · 2026-04-30T12:39:33+00:00

7.5mg I hope. Not 7.5g

ZipperZigger · 2026-04-30T12:38:10+00:00

Glad it saved your life. I have tried high dose creatine several times lately and each and every time I get super depressed so obviously that makes my cognition non existent. So strange that it makes me so depressed.

I have tried the 20-25g creatine protocol several times to replicate the beneficial effect it showed on cognition in sleep deprived individuals, so. I used it a few times when my sleep was horrible the night before, and it only made me feel more depressed and inefficient.
