> You can read the other posts below on Provigil and its appears that is not a stimulant and does a great job of helping you stay awake. I know one thing: It is the official drug of the US military, which has its pilots etc take to remain sharp during long hours on the battlefield.
Well, the US military does not use stimulants on the battlefield, per se. They use them for pilots, as 'go pills' on long missions. Their drug of choice for this purpose, since world war two has been dexamphetamine, though there has been lots of press about US defense department -study- of modafinil to replace it. Now this may have taken place by now--I haven't been keeping up--but we shouldn't assume that it's necessarily because it works better for that purpose--possiby just the normal concerns of abusability and bad press that come with ther older stims.
All that said, I personally find modafinil to be the most anxiety-creating of any stimulant--results vary, of course.
Best, all,
