I took it for years alongside Dexedrine for ADHD, then my insurance stopped covering it and the cost for Provigil was prohibitively expensive (like $1700 a month), so I went off it. I think the patent expired so you can get a generic now, but unfortunately, getting prescribed it again in addition to the Dexedrine has just been more of a pain than it’s seemed worth. I’ve been able to get Nuvigil (very similar chemically and created for the express purpose of extending the modafanil patent) scripts easily, but it legitimately doesn’t work for me, sadly.

Anyway, I feel like I was extremely productive on 400mg of Modafanil a day, and I understand why people have used it for nootropics.
