Interesting. I can sleep just fine on modafinil, but I still have greatly increased focus if I just choose to stay awake. Also, I've never noticed any increase in tolerance (which I get very quickly with caffeine and alcohol), even taking it every day for two weeks, although maybe that's not very long.
- steve-howard 11y agoI've been taking it for about two years, often skipping it on days I don't have to work, and it's definitely not as effective. Once, though, I did lose about three weeks' worth when it got accidentally tossed during a move. Insurance doesn't tend to cover that sort of thing, and the stuff is $500+/month, so I just struggled without. When I refilled it and started taking it again, I was bouncing off the walls a little bit.
- kirsebaer 11y agoHave you tried generic modafinil from India?

- steve-howard 11y agoAside from the above hiccup, I come out ahead on cost if I go through my insurance rather than try to buy from India. There would also likely be some lag time involved that wouldn't have helped in that instance.
