What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Taking Carim 100 Mg?

Question by : What are the advantages and disadvantages of taking Carim 100 mg?
I am intrigued specifically what are the benefits and drawbacks of having Modafinil 200 mg? Many thanks much.

Best answer:

Answer by Colin
Carim is just another name for modafinil… the only difference in yours is 100mg is half the dose of the 200mg tablets.

In the United States, modafinil is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration only for the treatment of narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea and shift work sleep disorder. In some countries, it is also approved for idiopathic hypersomnia (all forms of excessive daytime sleepiness where causes can’t be established). The usual prescribed dosage for these disorders is 200 mg once a day (less commonly, 100 to 400 mg/day in one or two doses).

Why Is Eric Clapton’s Song “Cocaine” Not Censored on the Radio, but Drug References in Rap Songs Are?

Question by Anonymous: Why is Eric Clapton’s song “Cocaine” not censored on the radio, but drug references in rap songs are?
Eric Clapton: “…When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine. If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine…” This is obvious reference to recreational/self medicating illegal drug use.

If this song is acceptable, other drug references in music should be too. The importance or necessity of the lyrics is irrelevant; the right to express yourself takes precedent over the value of such expression.
