Just wondering if it's worth getting to up my concentration whilst coursework is aplenty.
Anyone got experiences of taking this?
It's all legal, over the counter stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil

It's over-the-counter medication. If it's that dangerous, it wouldn't be available.
But thanks for copying and pasting irrelevant crap.

I can buy a knife over the counter.
But don't worry it isn't dangerous.

Sorry, no. Are you being prescribed this by a GP?

No, someone told me about it today. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with it.
It's really cheap as well :/

I would speak to a pharmacologist first. Naturally they will give you these obvious side-effect symptoms, but they can also report how patients they've dealt with respond to it, personal experience, etc. I'm sure it also depends on your own natural body chemistry. Do you have a medical history or a family member who has also shared these problems?

No, not especially. I was just intrigued as to how it'd actually improve concentration.
Guess some of it is curiosity.

You can certainly try it, but you obviously have your fair warnings. Obviously let someone else know that you are taking it in case of a medical emergency. Naturally if negative side effects occur, stop taking it immediately.
That being said, if you think it might help, try it. I am personally against taking medicines of any sort unless it's a serious medical issue. I really hate the idea of "pep pills" LOL ADHD because the whole thing seems silly to me.

I think you're probably right, you know. That Necrosis looks like a pretty fucking disgusting side effect.
