thanks for the help, rms. I will check out the forum (your first link) this weekend. Regarding the second link: they sell Modalert, which is made by an Indian company that claims this is a Provigil generic. I have read some worrying things about Modalert, here is an example: I'm going to restore the statement regarding the effectiveness of generics. Yes, in theory, the basic ingredient is the same. However, (1) no one really knows if Modalert is pure modafinil, (2) according to Cephalon's research, modafinil loses efficiency if it's in the form of particles larger than 40 microns (see US patent 5618845). It's not known if particles in Modalert are small enough. --Itinerant1 22:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC) (found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Modafinil#Generics_.26_effectiveness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Modafinil#Generics_.26_eff... ) and Modalert claims to be a generic Modafinil but almost all accounts describe it as inferior and its effect sounds like it could have something like caffiene and/or ingredients used in over-the-counter diet medicines to simulate an energizing effect. and I recently reacquired my interest in Modafinil because I'm a first year graduate student and I need to concentrate for long periods of time. But, I chose to be a retard and got sucked into buying the cheap Sun Pharma internet crap from India that is UTTERLY WORTHLESS!!! I received my package today with glee anticipating all those great mental and emotional stimulating effects I received from Provigil 5 years ago - but listen people, the stuff is ENTIRELY INEFFECTIVE, [...] All I've experienced today is an unpleasant and extremely jittery ephedra like feeling - no fun at all, and it's NOTHING like the true effects of REAL Modafinil. [...] (found here: http://brainmeta.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18411 http://brainmeta.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18411 ) Here is a thread where someone thinks that the different effectiveness of Modalert is the result of a different formulation: http://www.drugbuyers.com/freeboard/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showthreaded/Number/312423/site_id/1 http://www.drugbuyers.com/freeboard/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showt...
