I took modafinil in the form of Provigil. Wasn't very similar to caffeine. It's more akin to Adderall. However, I still rank caffeine as more productive for me than either Provigil or Adderall. Provigil was weird, seemed to increase my hearing, and put me on edge. I was certainly more alert, but to an extent that was just excessive. I'd pay attention to so many trivial details that it was mentally and physically exhausting me. Things I never noticed before, song lyrics, instruments in songs, people's mannerisms, etc. Adderall wasn't as bad, but it just wrecked my physical state. Twitchy, nervous, jaw hurt, wouldn't eat. In low enough doses, adderall is probably as useful as a cup of coffee. Long term health risks though seem pretty bleak. Wellbutrin is another wonder drug that's not always talked about. Increased my concentration, increased my sex drive, increased my athletic performance... But! The first week on a full dose and I wanted jump through a window. Does very weird things to your brain (epileptic seizures included). I described it as being able to feel things in my head that I shouldn't be able to. Started hearing lots of high pitched humming. Apparently all side effects, bleg. I'll stick to coffee.
