Ok. I've been doing quite a bit of research on smart drugs the past couple days. Reason: I have social anxiety disorder, very poor memory, poor motivation, low energy, mental fatigue. I've been prescribed a few Ssri's for my SA with that didn't help at all. I also recently tried out Dexedrine. It did help stimulate my mind but it also made me somewhat anxious. Anyways, I'd like to try out Modafinil, since Adrafinil can't be prescribed in the US. Here's a excerpt from a website about Adrafinil...
"Non-narcoleptic users generally find that adrafinil gives them increased energy and reduces fatigue, while improving cognitive function, mental focus, concentration, and memory. It has been reported that quiet people who take adrafinil become more talkative, reserved people become more open, and passive people become more active."
This would be the perfect cure for me. I know Modafinil and Adrafinil are related but how close? Which one's more powerful. Would I be likely to get the same effects as stated in the above paragraph from Modafinil? I've read about Modafinil cognitive benefits but haven't heard anything about quiet & reserved people being more talkative & open. I would think that it would work just like Adrafinil though right? Any answers are much appreciated. I'd like to hear from someone with social anxiety who's taking Modafinil. Much Thanks, Josh.
