>>10846937OP here. I can see that I probably should have used a trip, guess I'll start now.
I forgot to report my findings 12 hours later as promised, but here we go.
This is the third day, I just took my fourth dose.
How much of this is placebo is hard to know. Probably most of it. I know that the body can be incredibly good at faking (for example, pseudocyesis).
>Just take ModafinilI have taken it before. But I am not using it now, I don't want to confound my findings.
Day 1.
- 30 minutes after first I took the lions mane, I started to randomly notice things that I'd been overlooking forever. Marks in the paint on the wall, a tiny crack at the bottom corner of my cell phone, the feeling of my headphones' earpads, etc. More annoying than useful.
- Uncharacteristically snapped at a parent. The reason is I found their presence and conversation genuinely annoying and wanted them to go away. I cannot place the reason why. No matter how I think about it, there was no reason for me to be annoyed, but I was.
- There have been gastric effects (gassy). Could be coincidental. However, I can faintly smell the powder in my urine as well.
- I knocked out an uncharacteristic number of chores and tasks I've been meaning to accomplish. Just felt like the usual "resistance" wasn't there.
About 7 hours after the first dose, the sensation of "awareness" (i.e., the noticing random stuff) had faded, so I took another dose hoping it would recur. It did not.
Day 2.
Took it in the morning. I have been far more productive than usual on little chores and DIY projects around the house. However, I have still not stopped procrastinating on my research papers. My advisor gets back from his vacation on Monday and I know he's going to want to see some progress.
Gastric effects intensifying.
