Sid, I take adrafinil (you know - one of its metabolites is Provigil, modafinil) but I don't have any at this time as the online company ran out of supplies (it must be popular) so I ordered from another online site. Right now, I'm using Dexedrine again but I feel the mood difference. I'm being touched by my depression some as I'm getting a "don't give a damn" attitude. Not apathetic but irritable with stupidity & other human frailities. Got fed up with my supervisor (justly so mind you) & gave my two weeks notice. Now she's all over, trying to make up, & told me I could change my mind. I'll see. Maybe my depression is talking a bit, but I would still be upset even with the adrafinil. With it though, I might be able to handle the situation better. I've got to remember that when I'm working, the union covers the cost of my meds & dental.
Both Dexedrine & Provigil would help with the apathy but I like the even-level effects on adrafinil/modafinil. I don't wake up apathetic & groggy with it as I do with other stims. The benefits from other stims (for me, at least) just lasts as long as it's in my system. The dose wears off - the effects wear off. Adrafinil seems to give long-lasting effects that don't go away till a few days after stopping it.
