Modafinil and armodafinil (not at the same time) -- 1/4 pill a few days a week, for a few years. Also a heavy coffee drinker.
Positives:
- On good days, it would help with a sort of focus where I sit down and the day just whizzes by. I could often get a lot of grunt work done, or deep dives that don't require a lot of outside thinking.
- I'm pretty reserved, and I felt more chatty when taking.
Negatives:
- Works well as an appetite suppressant. I already have trouble gaining weight, so this is obviously bad. And along with the coffee I drink, it just wrecks my stomach.
- Maybe I'm misremembering/misattributing, but my mood seemed worse
- I'd often feel either spaced out or rushed. This usually means my entire day is shot, given the drug's half-life
- SKRegueiro 6y agoGive yerba mate a try. I receantly switch from coffee and it a lot better, plus you can take it all morning
- tra3 6y agoDoes modafinil require a prescription?
- the_only_law 6y agoIn many countries including the US, yes. There are analogs and prodrugs that do not, however. Just to add Adrafinil is probably the most popular. It’s a prodrug metabolized in the liver. I’ve read about slight hepatotoxicity, but I’ve never had any issues when I took 600-900mg for a few weeks. There are also a number of related RCs I unfortunately cannot recall the names of (some of them sound a bit strange though). Not sure how much I’d trust them. I’ve always been weary of RCs for a variety of reasons.

Unless you're going to personally verify the composition of the pills you receive, you're taking mystery pills from a person/company that's already knowingly breaking the law. For what -- coding productivity? If you feel you need medication, consult a professional.
