What dose should be used with fladrafinil? NSFW

I've already tried Provigil (modafinil) in the past, just once at 200 mg, but it didn't work very well. It felt very similar to caffeine, but with a longer and calmer effect. However, I was looking for something more motivating. So I got fladrafinil and tried it today. Since it's supposedly stronger, I started with 50 mg. Within half an hour, I felt like something was about to happen - a tingling sensation in my brain - but then nothing really came of it. So I took another 50 mg plus 150 mg of caffeine, but still I don't feel as awake as I do with, say, 300 mg of caffeine. I expected it to be stronger.

I'm pretty sure it's real fladrafinil, because the place I got it from has a COA, and the smell reminds me of sulfur - which I read is normal since it's part of the molecule. Since I seem to be resistant to modafinil, I guess it makes sense that I might need a higher dose. What dose do you guys use?

Fladrafinil pairs very well PPAP, didn’t pair well with cyclazodone

Personally I use 300,that seems to be the best dose for me. I've found that the claims of it being "stronger" then legit moda is far fetched,in my experience..multiple sources,all good quality,all take 300mg to achieve what one 200mg moda tab achieves

Strange, because it seems more lipophilic - I hope I won't have to go up to 300 mg or more, since I don't really feel anything strong even at 200 mg of modafinil

When I was taking it, not knowing it was a no no where I live, it was an average 50 × 3 a day or 75 mg x 2 times a day. Loved my coffee with it also. 50 was for getting lots of little stuff done over the whole day or (75) having a high maintenance venue going for 6 hours at my job. Lasted me the full 6 hours. Very nice slow taper on and off also, you knew it was on the way or out the door, slow. About 1 to 2 days off a week. Hated Adrafinil. Can't even remember the day I took it. Just slept like a zombie.

I’ll say this

Adrafinil seems to be much more of a wakefulness tool than its fluronated brother fladrafinil. I wasn’t able to get any sort of wakefulness activity with fladrafinil at all.

If modafinil didn’t work for you then probably none of the afanils will imo. You’re probably after more of a phenylpiracetam
