also for narcolepsy
Fiance has this and takes nuvigil. She used to take vyvanse before but nuvigil seems to have almost no side effects whatsoever.
But apparently they are about to put her on a new drug instead that is basically the equivalent of GHB
Something about it would help control her sleep cycle better instead of trying to take nuvigil everyday. Which she already takes the largest dose recommended. This post was edited on 12/8/14 at 3:55 pm

It isn't for sleeping. I have no problems sleeping, it helps you stay alert and awake.

You would have no reason to know it. It's not indicated for pedis.
Shift workers, narcoleptics, and patients undergoing some type of systemic treatment. We have it b/c my wife treats for HEP C, and the old interferon treatment can whoop your arse.

Then, this drug came into my life. Wow. I remembered everything. I remembered things I skimmed over, things my mind didn't catch before. I became a genius. Then, I started trading penny stocks. Then, Wall Street. I made millions.
Limitless?

Someone who has never tried Adderall/Vyvanse might like modafinil, but otherwise it's basically caffeine without the jitters.

Seems like this is just Adderall under a different name

Adderall in an amphetamine. Modafinil is a novel non-stimulant (so they say) that increases awareness/alertness and decreases somnolence. They work quite differently. The mechanism of modafinil isn't exactly understood yet though.
