Modafinil
So.. I was getting my knee checked out by a doctor and as i sat in the waiting room i picked up a copy of Readers Digest.. On the front.. There was an article.. "The New Drug That Helps You Stay Awake". This drug is called modafinil. There was an interesting series of diary enrties.. I wish i had a copy of it so that you cout read it. It was sensational..
Anyway.. I tried searching for it by looking for the drug name.. and i found this blog.. here is a chunk of what Paul Harrison who is studying a Phd in texture synthesis had to say.
"Feeling unmotivated, so i'm cutting back on the propranolol. Middle of last night, i woke screaming about being trapped in a giant mincing machine. Would have forgotten about that except my housemate mentioned it today. Today heaches, blood nose--neon red but short lasting. Ibuprofen didn't help headaches, taking a single propranolol did.
Note to self: next time got to remember to taper off the dose.
Too many parameters, hard to optimize."
His blog is wicked!! it can be found here http://www.advogato.org/person/pfh/
So.. yeah if you're not doing anything.. Have a look on google for diarys written about Modafinil.
Interesting Stuff.
