When we last talked about Modalert or Modafinil I may or may not have essentially endorsed it. Well things have changed. Through usage I never experienced any major side effects aside from constantly being thirsty and needing to drink water, yet just don't for some reason, it's fucking retarded you just ignore it or are focused on something else. That changed after I basically pulled that back to back double shift stunt (something like 39 hours awake then sleep 9 hours then 39 hours awake then sleep 10 hours). That's when I went from "maybe sick" to definitely sick and its definitely an upper respiratory infection. Did I catch a cold then it got worse because of not taking care of myself? Did I catch a cold and modafinil allowed it to get worse? Did modafinil compromise my immune system then invite the cold in? Was it a cold at all, or was it an adverse reaction to modafinil?
That's what I'm trying to figure out. My general theory is that I was so overloaded with histamine I was going into some kind of gradual shock. There were some disturbing sides I didn't mention, like this odd feeling of pain in my chestwall lining front and back that came on about that time. Another one was I went to tighten the draw string on my hoody one night but missed and just barely jabbed my neck with my thumb, then about 3 hours later I discovered a thumb size bruise in that location. I applied pressure and was able to spread the bruise and even create a new bruise. Terrifying. I'm not a doctor I'm not going to go full hypochondriac and try to go further into it but the thing is this is a prescription drug that could have some serious side effects if you use it irresponsibly, and I'm worried that you will. I'm not sure how much you researched into it but I know I researched quite awhile, and still basically forgot about certain sides I should have definitely been monitoring, namely the onset of an upper respiratory infection.
I don't know I was going to go way more in depth but I've typed too much today anyway and you're smart and an adult and I'm sure you get it. I'll just feel more comfortable typing out that you should start slow if you are, and don't do like I did and use it every day especially not for over a week, and don't use it if you're going to be immunocompromised even in the slightest. You need to be aware of any type of sides especially anything skin related or breathing or heart related. This is a drug

be responsible; unlike I was.
Or maybe I just caught the flu and it had nothing to do with modafinil. That bruise though says otherwise... and that weird chest-wall inflammation or restriction or whatever the fuck it was.
