What people say about Modafinil and mood
“It did make me focused and alert. I was working two jobs at the time and needed every ounce of energy I could muster.”
“I started experimenting with Modafinil recently - taking 200mg a day, first thing in the morning... This stuff genuinely makes me feel superhuman.”
“Less is more, 50mg is enough to give me focus, the half life is very long, so I don't take it any later than 6am or I won't sleep good that day.”
“Modafinil(200mg) makes me so outgoing and extroverted. It gives me soo much energy and the just do it attitude.”
