Adding adrafinil to my current stack ... seem alright? Options

[IanA87]

My stack is manifold. I am not sure if there will be any interactions. I cannot find evidence that in any literature that there would be, but maybe someone here has an anecdote.

+Magnesium/Vitamin D/Calcium - 250 mg / 3200 IU / 500 mg
+Fish Oil - 3g
+Huperzine A (2x a week, sometimes skipping weeks) - 200 mcg
+Centrophenoxine (3x a week) - 1 g
+DMAE (4x a week, on days when not taking centrophenoxine) - 700 mg
+ALA - 200mg + 500 mg
+Rainbow Light - Men's One multivitamin
+Bacopa - 100 mg bacopa monniera extract (20% bacosides), 345mg bacopa monniera (leaf)
+Rhodiola Rosea - 500 mg (5.4% rosavins, 3.6% rosavin, 0.9% salidrosides, 36% polyphenols)
+Ashwaghanda - 400 mg
+Lion's Mane - 1 g
+Curcumin (yes, i know it has low bio-availability =[) 95% - 500 mg

I would take 1x300mg adrafinil pill until an effect is felt, and if the effect is desirable I would take it on the weekends when I wish to study various topics all day, so 2x a week, skipping weeks every so often.

I'm interested in methlyphendate as an alternative to adrafinil, but I was not able to have it prescribed to me.

I dont understand why adrafinil gets so much attention. The liver has to metabolize adrafinil to modafinil and in the middle just give you more side effects and less modafinil.
Why not to try modalert, modapro or armodafinil instead? They are cheaper than modafinil but stronger and cleaner than adrafinil (if you can get a legit supplier).

"(if you can get a legit supplier)."

Because of this. How can I be sure the supplier is legitimate? It seems that adrafinil is more likely to be legitimate, since it is not scheduled and therefore far easier to get a hold of.

Also, isn't adrafinil equivalent to modafinil? It should merely require a higher dose.

Do you folks think 300 MG is enough? It tells me to take 2x300 MG, but it's fairly expensive and I only get 40 pills, so If I can get by on 300 mg then that would be ideal, especially since I won't take it every day.

If it is your first time i would cut the pill on 4 and just take 1/4. Depending upon the first day experience i would try 1/2 the second day and so on until you find a balance between good effects and side effects.
