===============================================================================
Mood elevationModafinil used in a randomized double-blind study showed that normal healthy volunteers between the ages of 30-44 showed general improvement in alertness as well as mood. In the three-day study, counterbalanced, randomized, crossover, inpatient trial of modafinil 400 mg was administered as well as a placebo to the control group. The conclusion demonstrated that modafinil may have general mood-elevating effects in particular for the adjunctive use in treatment-resistant depression.
===============================================================================When I took it with Nardil 90mg, it really affected my eyes and vision. My eyes would sting and ache and my vision was very blurred - I had to increase the fonts on all my PC's, use eye-drops and so on. I also had days when I would be hyper-motivated, working 'til 3am, having loads of good ideas, working efficiently (instead of my usual OCD-infested thoughts). Whilst this was an amazing experience, I did feel out of control, like a car rolling downhill when someone's left the handbrake off. Ultimately after a month or so, Provigil stopped having any positive effects ( I was falling asleep at work again ) and so I stopped taking it.
Overall I'd highly recommend it, it is very "clean" and doesn't have that chemical-feeling that other stims do.
