By comedown you mean sleep debt or have you been using it like caffeine, got your required 8 hours but when you didn't use it one day you felt lethargic?

Sleep debt. It's very much burning the candle at both ends.
It can also be pretty terrible for your sleep patterns even for a few days after.
As another commenter mentioned, used judiciously, it's amazing.
Not GP, but for me it really seemed to affect my sleep quality in addition to keeping me up later. I started by taking 100mg at 8AM and another 100mg at 12PM. Any later and I'd still be awake at 2AM.
The lethargy and brain fog went away if I dosed again, but that only compounds the problems.
I still dose when I need a guaranteed day of focus, but I really try not to use it on consecutive days.
YMMV
