[Modafinil / provigil]

I know a few people who have taken it, some of them are helped by it and others abused it. I think it is a matter of why you take it; is it just to get an extra boost or do you genuinely need it to function? (it's primarily a narcolepsy mediaction). 

[Man Who Fell To Earth]

This is my third day of being off of adderall, and I have been on and off of it for about five years. I tried quitting a couple times but returned to it because of how conveniently it masked my loneliness. I thought I was able to "work through" my problems by taking a pill, but in reality it was just distancing me further from them while giving me a little pat on the back for acheivements that I could not confidently call my own. It also made me see life with a nauseating clarity that somehow made things less clear. I am not very productive now but I feel more grounded and serene.
