#armodafinil

Idk if this is normal or something is wrong.

I also don’t take the medication consistently, only on days I need it and maybe those are the days it happens? Again, haven’t been tracking I should start.

“If you’ve landed on this page, odds are that you’ve already taken Modafinil and, either after a long day’s work or for the long night ahead, plan on mixing Modafinil and alcohol.

While generally thought to be a bad idea, people are going to do it anyhow. Staying informed will at least grant you the knowledge behind the reasons why this is bad for you, which might deter you from making a habit out of it.

  The science behind it

GABA – inhibitory neurotransmitter that regulates anxiety, sedation and other functions

Glutamate – excitatory neurotransmitter responsible for learning and memory

Modafinil inhibits GABA production and increases glutamate production, which is why you experience improved memory and clear wakefulness, respectively.

Alcohol does the opposite. It inhibits glutamate and activates GABA, increasing its production significantly while leaving other excitatory neurotransmitters like acetylcholine, glutamate or epinephrine at the same levels. This explains the mood swings experienced on alcohol and often amplified by the combination of Modafinil.”
