It looks like adrafinil is getting difficult to come by in the US. Mostly I’m curious if on my sluggish work days something like modafinil would give me a kick that coffee just doesn’t provide. Though I already have itchy skin issues messing up my sleep so if I had anything like the reaction you describe it would be a no-go.

There's no _kick_ whatsoever and in some ways that's kind of the appeal.


My understanding is that it basically just represses the signals that make you feel tired/sleepy.
