Modafinil anyone?

[socialworker]

Has anyone here tried Modafinil on a sensible basis? By which I don't mean using it to stay awake for 60 hours plus then complaining it made you feel tulip.

After resisting it for a long time I took one the other day (prescribed for someone else) and it was absolutely great, felt alert, relaxed, decision making was great, not high or jittery, then it wore off and I had a relaxed evening followed by a good night's sleep.

It's against my normal prinicples to take any drugs except what is essential and prescribed for me, but I must say I am very tempted to order some online and take them occasionally if it improves my life this much. I guess there must be a few IT contractors out there who have tried it given the pressures to work long hours you chaps are under sometimes ....

Slippery slope in my opinion.

Each to their own though...

I think you got this forum and permieuk.com mixed up.

Why? There's a thread on here right now with someone complaining about 12 hour days.

Yep my thoughts exactly, it was just too good.

Isn't that MF though? He is a permie.

Oh, in there, I don't go in there.

Too good is probably reserved for other things, bags of white powder.

I'm easily pleased. Plus there is no prison sentence for possession.

Sounds rather like a lot of drugs.
