Modafinil increases my risk-taking behavior much more than amphetamine does, though otherwise has much lower physical side effects than amphetamine. Took me awhile to realize I was being incredibly flirty due to modafinil. It was typically well-received and it took me a long time to realize that it was modifying my behavior. But once I knew what to look for I saw the modifications across wide parts of my life including work and personal goals. Generally made me take on more ambitious goals. Eventually I suffered some traumatic events and modafinil started causing anxiety, especially when mixed with caffeine, and I found vyvanse was better after that for managing my ADHD without quite as much paralyzing anxiety. Everyone’s brain reacts very differently to each stimulant. On the very rare occasion that I take cocaine I usually just fall asleep and enjoy a hard nap! I don’t experience about 90% of the effects my friends report from it. Caffeine keeps me awake all night long even if I have just half of a cup of coffee any time after 11AM, and increases my anxiety to the point where it’s very difficult to be productive. Dextroamphetamine and Vyvanse both affect work productivity similarly for me but dextroamphetamine shuts down my social interaction, whereas Vyvanse increases it. This is particularly strange because they “should” be the exact same active drug once the Vyvanse is metabolized. Biology is still very much being discovered and there is a lot that we just don’t know yet.
