i find modafinil less jittery than concerta. concerta always either stops working, or the mentally jarring dysphoric side effects overtake the usefulness of the drug, leaving it merely something that prevents you from falling asleep and gaining weight, as your benzo dose climbs along with taking you somewhere really useless and dangerous.
that is me tho.
i'm in a battle with modafinil now (or i hope it's out of me), and scared, so i don't really know what to say naturally; other than it usually felt lighter. i never expected i'd have a sensitivity to it, given how i have used it off/on, as i tend to always start/stop cycle stimulants. modafinil's problem wasn't so much "i can't have this in me anymore i'm going crazy" more it isn't effective anymore considering the amt of pills/$$$$ i'm willing to just swallow. esp given that i already try to support stimulants with memantine, given my whole pathology may be a phenomenon of supertolerance. it is not covered by my drug plan. there is the brand name, and then apotex's submonopoly as the only generic. a typical rx of 200 bid is 4 pills and they are at least 1$ each, and since one of the meds i'm on for life is a 3A4 inducer, i never know what effective dose i am taking compared to what 100mg-200mg is typically supposed to mean. mind you fiddling with this problem, as i've detailed elsewhere may have just put me in danger. hopefully i am just really sick and having a close call. but i now have alarming purple crease across my forehead... my hands are still prickly and warm, as is my breath. idk. i'm totally dysfunctional as it is, if i am facing something serious, i'm really starting to get scared. i can barely perform tasks that aren't a continuous thread like babbling, acting as a kite to other peoples prompts and cues upredictably, never initiating anything on my own without bunching up and freezing.
