It'll also boost your working memory and some other intellectual abilities.Adderall is pharmaceutical grade/quantity of amphetamine. It shall improve your ability to concentrate.Together, the drugs shall improve your work output by a factor of 2 or 4 times. The disadvantage is that you'll need a day off some time later, you cannot continue such a regime indefinitely.Knowing the half life is important. For Modafinil it is 12-15 hours. For Adderall it is 10 - 13 hours. For peak efficiency, you need to set a clock to keep a consistent amount of Modafinil and Adderall in your system, so that you are not in any danger of taking too much, and so the effects don't tail off. Ideally you should factor your age/body-weight into the calculations to refine them.Modafinil and Adderall are examples of Nootropics. Drugs used to make you smarter, in the same way steroids are used by weight lifters to build muscle. It works, but if you don't follow the rules you'll pay for it with your health. e.g. do not drink alcohol before, during or after taking these drugs. Do not work for 72 hours in a row and then wonder WTF happened. Don't mix recreational use of drugs with nootropic usage. Working 24+ hours in a row is permitable, but after you must rest and let the drugs leave your system, ideally two days of normal work and good sleep.A normal dose for Moda is 200mg. I take 100mg usually myself, I find I don't need a higher dosage.A normal dose for Addy is 40mg. You should carry a notebook and record all the data available to you, as well as your experiences, you've got to be scientific about this if you're to maximize the potential. Otherwise you're throwing good money, and your health if you're just being silly, down the drain.
