Honestly, I just went to my family doctor and asked for it. I took a look at the symptoms for Shift Work Sleep Disorder, decided that I was a close match for that cluster of symptoms and took my story to the doc. Modafinil is not really prone to abuse. It isn't a euphoric, so using too much isn't going to give you a "high". Consequently, doctors are more likely to give you a prescription for it. That's not the case for an abused drug like Adderall. HOWEVER: all drugs have side effects. I think Modafinil is relatively safe but YMMV.
