Modafinil Synergy and Interactions Damian Alexander, MD discusses Modafinil Synergy and Interactions

br br In this video I will discuss br Modafinil Synergy and Interactions br Synergy is the joint action br of two or more agents that br Produces a combined effect greater than the sum of their individual effects br Modafinil Synergy: br Modafinil is synergistic with Yohimbe br Yohimbine a stimulant and aphrodisiac from the plant Yohimbe br Also enhances norepinephrine activity, but you should be careful because br This combination can cause a dangerous increase in heart rate and blood pressure br Modafinil is also synergistic with coffee and caffeine, but the same warning applies br Interactions of Modafinil: br Birth control pills have decreased effectiveness when combined with Modafinil br The mechanism is that Modafinil upregulates (increases the quantity) of an enzyme br Which breaks down the br contraceptive hormones br Thus, higher doses of birth control pills may be needed br 400mgday of Modafinil for a month significantly reduced levels of estradiol and br Norgestimate in a study of 16 women br Modafinil also interacts with Opiates br (including Methadone) br The action of these drugs can be substantially shortened br Concomitant use of opiates and Modafinil results in the formers decreased effectiveness br If you suffer from epilepsy, or serious hepatic or renal disorders, br Modafinil can be contraindicated to you br Another thing to remember is that in some countries br Modafinil is considered a doping agent and a prohibited stimulant br Long-term use has also been associated with instances of elevated liver enzymes br Thus, if you plan to use Modafinil for an extended period of time, br You should have your liver function tested to establish a baseline, br And then retest after 3 months and again every 6 months thereafter to spot changes br If abnormalities appear, reducing the dose or stopping the drug should permit a return to normal br One last but very important thing br Combining Modafinil with br Alcohol is a very bad idea br At least 24 hours should pass between your last Modafinil dose and Alcohol use br In most situations, br I would advise against using Modafinil br But I believe many will try it anyway so you might as well be correctly informed br In this video we have discussed br Modafinil Synergy and Interactions br br If you want to discover things about Modafinil which arent included in this video series then go to: br br br If you would like to learn more about critical nutritional supplements, life extension and disease prevention then subscribe to my youtube channel at: br br br The easiest and shortest way to: br br *Double physical and mental energy br *Strengthen immunity br *Restore health, visit: br br br br
