(also known as Modafinil, Allertec)

Modafinil is used to help people who have narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hyponea, or shift work sleep disorder to stay awake during the day. Modafinil does not cure these conditions and will only work as long as you continue to take it.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Didn't notice any changes

It makes me feel like a normal person again with energy to live my life but it only lasts for about 4 to 7 hours and it leaves me feeling weaker than I felt before taking it. Still its worth it to have energy again even if only briefly! I recommend taking 100 mg rather than 200 mg and only sparingly.

Tried this one but it caused extreme anxiety. No point in being awake if I feel like I'm about to take an important exam all the time!
