@@pennybabyboo If you’ve already tried a lot of alternatives for depression , I recommend talking to a psychiatrist who could work with you on alternatives such as modafinil. I also had sleepiness and ADHD so that played into my diagnosis and my doctor’s decision to try modafinil as an adjunct to an ssri . Sometimes it takes a cocktail to work. It doesn’t work as a stimulant on me, nor a super-focuser.

Me too. After going thru 7 SSRI potential solutions, Modafinil made the difference. That's all I take now. I guess it allows me to focus and 'put in the side mirror' the negative feelings I was trying to eliminate with the SSRIs. I find this report rather cynical. A tiny shift in your outlook can make all the difference. Modafinil could provide that shift. Worth trying before the rabbit hole of anti-deps.

Thanks for uploading this instructive video. You mention studies done on people playing chess @22:25. I occasionally take non-prescribed Modafinil for cognitive enhancement at my desk job and am a regular online chess player. I find that when playing chess, Modafinil will allow me to focus for much longer on one move when analysing a line (chess variation) - this always comes at the cost of more time spent on each move but yields better quality moves in general, and on long games a better match outcome. If I play 10 minute chess or less, the quality of the moves are less important, the advantage goes to the player that can make good practical decisions and this requires multi-tasking - which in my experience is hindered by Modafinil.

I also tested that smart drug. To be honest I couldn’t notice anything. Chess is an addictive game. At times, I played that game for hours. No, I wasn’t on Moda in those days. I couldn’t believe myself. I played for more than 12 hours. I removed the game from my mobile. I didn’t want that game controlled my life. I only play that game if I have enough free time. Unfortunately, there isn’t any smart drug which can increase the retention of new information. You won’t become smarter. If you suck at maths, languages, drawing whatever, you name it, moda or Adderal won’t help you to enjoy maths. Those pills don’t give you super powers. Yeah alertness, your concentration will be raised, however, your IQ, Your fluid intelligence will be the same. You might boost your crystal intelligence. I am very disappointed. Calling those pills “ Smart drugs” is an insult. There are good for people who suffer from narcolepsy.

This is essentially the same conclusion I reached. I would buy it online to experiment with - mainly for being more productive and getting through long work days on limited sleep. I found it made me more “disorganised” and scattered. Years down the road I was diagnosed with ADHD which some were surprised wasn’t discovered sooner. Currently being prescribed Ritalin, which I was concerned may give a similar effect to Modafinil. Ritalin seems to be more helpful for focus and feeling more “tuned in”. I don’t get headaches like I do on modafinil either.

Hello out there. I hope everyone is doing well. I would just like to comment on this topic and say I have severe ADHD and I have been on one form of amphetamine or another since second grade. I’m now 51 I just got off of the new version of Adderall, the one in the last 16 hours I was on the maximum dose, and you know I finally just decided I was done the benefits or fading. The negative affects were increasing. I’ve been down the road of amphetamines. I know where it leads it always leads to that same ugly place you know it might take certain people different amounts of time to get there, but they all arrive at the same ugly place. I’ve been researching modafinil and I took my first one yesterday and oh my God it’s the closest to normal that I have ever felt I wasn’t and up like with him that I mean the brain fog cleared. I had an underlying sense of happiness and well-being. My thoughts were clear and not racing. I was actually able to Pull a thought down and you know work with it think about it analyze that and then Move on. I’ve had no headache really no issues whatsoever. I just feel like a normal person. Having an average good day. That is how I would describe it it’s not like how was your day. Oh my God I want a car kind of thing that is amphetamine this is like how was your day I was pretty good I was really productive. I got my project finished on time. Had a nice lunch. Traffic wasn’t too bad you know that kind of thing that’s also another reason it’s not something you would abuse because you cannot double up on that kind of a feeling or you go into oh my God I want to car kind of a thing that’s the realm of amphetamines as I said before. This is more like a natural, gentle, uplifting, not a jaw, clenching mechanical drive towards nothing in particular it’s not that kind of thing at all is there was ever time in your life when you were younger, and it was just easier for you to think and control your thoughts, and you were generally excited about life and happy, that’s kind of how this feels. It’s not like a big rush of dopamine. It is actually everything I hoped it would be and more. Do you know what’s really enjoyable? To smell marijuana with modafinil that being said the one daffodil I’m noticing is taking away my urge to smoke marijuana, which is something that I have struggled with quitting for a very long time. But when you start to gain control of your thoughts and you’re not on edge and you can actually just like relax and think for a minute, there’s really no reason to have anxiety. Let me also say that I take Xanax and have taken that off and on for years this is coming in a completely different way, it’s just like you are calm because that’s just the way you are in the mood you were in and how you always are it’s not like you feel this sedating relief of an anxiety attack going away because you’re being sedated by benzodiazepines. So if you are someone that is struggling with ADHD, struggling with amphetamines to treat ADHD, feeling like amphetamines are exacerbating the depression and sometimes the mental fog. I am a runner, and I noticed when I didn’t take the antenna means it reduced my ability to run, and then I noticed even when I was taking them it was reducing my ability to run it took away my speed and my distance. I am giving myself a good five days of just adjusting to modafinil and taking it easy, letting my body recover like my mind recover from the constant push from amphetamines. I may do a few easy rounds, but I’m not gonna push or try to improve speed or distance until my body signals that it’s ready.

But instead of being brain rocket fuel, it's more like a strong cup of coffee. B) Withdrawel. Doc above says it doesn't. But for me I'm especially tired without it.

Military found they could keep souldiers awake for 72 hours with minimal effects on cognitive performance when using 300 mg a day. The average recommended dose is 200 MG but with a half life of 12 to 16 hours, depending on your metabolism it might throw off your whole system. Taking it when your already sleep deprived isnt as effective as taking it after a full night sleep. Id say an ideal dose is 150 milligrams..

Very interesting. I have it for narcolepsy. at a cost of $5.60 per month. I live in Australia where the government heavily subsidised. Doc said I can take a break from the drug on weekends so I can minimise the side effects. I get skin rashes which are so severe that the skin breaks . It does give you tight focus, I wish I had it when I was studying. I was diagnosed when I was 55. Angry that I lived most of my life with this condition. When specialist first saw me, he later said that he knew that I was narcoleptic. He admitted to hospital immediately. Apparently, I can do a full 90 minute sleep cycle in a matter of 14 minutes and I do it 4-5 times a day. I’m a robot, rather than the fall down type of person. I just keep doing things. Humorously, one day arriving home , I put my glasses in the freezer and my handbag in the oven, whilst in a narcoleptic state. So I can say the drug definitely helps me manage my condition. Also, you shouldn’t drink alcohol when on the drug.

Modafanil sort of doesn't feel like anything at all but you'll notice it when you don't have it. I have Complex PTSD that causes ADHD like symptoms. You can focus intensely with modafanil which is great except if you get distracted you will be intensely focused on the distraction. Take it with a plan. Take it early and get alot done so you can sleep at night. You will feel the dose if you take 200mg but its better if you only take 100 mg ( you wont even feel it ) but you will still have a razor like focus. Its not a magic bullet but If you have ADHD it is very helpful. Generics seem to have inconsistent strengths from tablet to tablet.

But I only take it when its rearly bad for me. I'm prescribed 200mg but take 50mg that suites me. To get me going. U gotta saty hydrated on this material I find.

This guy is basically repeating the same thing over and over again the only real damage that can come from modafinil is a skin rash which is extremely rare and about equal to pretty many other medication on the market. He does not mention that it has a little effect on the dopamine system it’s considered non-habit-forming, and that is primarily works by stimulating or acts in a protein that activates alertness rather than norepinephrine. I’d be surprised if this guy didn’t work for the manufacturers of Prozac.

"By a chronic administration of modafinil in narcoleptic patients, rCBF increased in the bilateral prefrontal cortices, whereas it decreased in left mesio/basal, temporal, bilateral occipital areas, and cerebellum." This is what he meant by increased blood flow in the brain which im assuming is the reason for its use for increasing cognition

I found it to work excellent for treating my ADHD. However, tolerance builds so rapidly it isn't a decent candidate for long term use at least in my case. I do use it periodically when Adderall is on backorder at my pharmacy or if I'm taking a break from my Adderall for brain health. It's very obvious in me personally that Modafinil stimulates dopamine much less than typical wakefulness drugs. That pleasureful need to redose doesn't exist with modafinil. I also have found it almost useless to abuse as in taking more doesn't produce any pleasurable effects nor does it seem to do much at all above 400mg. It did give me bad headaches at first but only a couple times. I never knew it can block hydrocodone/opiates but that does make sense as I was prescribed and I noticed the pain reduction was diminished greatly.

Yup buddy. It's one of the side effects. This so called safe medication has too many side effects for some people. In its own website a long list of side effects are written. After taking it for a while on many people it has quite paradoxical effects like getting too drowsy. That's why some people say never take Modafinil everyday.
