Man, I wish this stuff was around back when I was in college. Probably would have flunked differential equations one less time.

I read somewhere that some absurdly high percentage of academic researchers (30%?) use it as a nootropic.

I would have quit my boring-ass job a long time ago without it.

I tried Nuvigil once and hated it. I'll take ephedrine any day over that ****.

For meth, you have to deal with a meth dealer. Not much crossover with doctors prescribing modafinil.

Ephedrine juices your nervous system, but doesn't help you focus.

Sound like potential dwarf names that Tolkien rejected.

The husband took provigil for MS related fatigue. He stopped taking it bacause it turned him into a bad tempered mean guy. Now he just naps on the couch instead.

Both those drug names sound like they help control yeast infections. Or maybe hair loss.

its a central nervous stimulant for narcolepsy and shift-work sleep disorder.

Adderall is straight dope, narcotic. Vyvanse less so but still so. Id put modafinil on the spectrum halfway between caffeine and adderall. Modafinil is generally regarded as low-potential for abuse but if you are a speed addict, it will get you high and put you back in active addiction. At least it did for me.

Took it back in my oilfield days in 2013-2014. Loved it. Stopped drinking coffee and energy drinks completely. Was wide awake and able to focus the entire day (or night) but didn't feel super hyped up like I did when I was on vivance/adderal. Simply went to the doctor and told them I was in the patch, worked odd hours and had a coworker recommend it. Walked out with a prescription. Would definitely recommend ...

I always preferred dextroamphetamine to Modafinil.

I made the mistake of taking 2 at the same time on a flight and felt like I could hear color and see sounds.
