hey sandy why dont you quit your job, here in the uk we have about 4 million on the sick (in uk u get everything paid for + money when on the sick). I know loads, on it, usually cos they’re lazy. Point I’m making is life is for living, not for surviving!

I agree that Provigil is addictive. I recently stopped taking it after 8 years and I am going through withdrawl. I did not stop taking it by choice; my new insurance company won’t pay for it and it costs close to $900/month. I started taking it because I could not stay awake for more than 12 hours a day. Provigil made so I could make it to at least 14 hours a day, and not fall asleep while I was at work. Now I cannot stay awake for longer than 10 hours a day and have fallen asleep at my desk again. I have severe tremors and stiffness, along with pain associated with the stiffness. I have no appetite. That being said, the most addictive drug I take is Paxil. I will never be able to stop taking it because the withdrawl is excruciating.

well uncle al the use of ritalin was popular with the russian and german troops during stalingrad and other sieges, the brits and of course the u.s.government would never consider the affect it might have on americn troops who for the want of a better xpression had been told it was usefull in allowing them to be more alert to enemy activity. ever wonder what happened to the studies that showed how the pain in the butt kid ended up? do you think the relationship between a pain in the butt kid ( by the way uncle al hyperactivity is a non sexually orienting disaorder yes even gasp female children are owners of it) and a totally off the wall demobed ranger might exist. get a life and look around at what you obviously have no clue as to what you rant about.

I take modafinal and get no pleasure from it. Far from being addictive to me, I find it easy to take or to skip. The main affect I’ve noticed is that after using it, the following night I desperately need sleep on time.

Modafinil/Nuvigil has been shoveled into soldiers, truck drivers, and other “stay awake” occupations. A researcher slipped a quiet four figures by the competition to find something bad must have been frustrated by the low incidence of lethal erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug rash with eosinophilia. If it were addictive there would be addicts. If beng killed by the pharma is not screaming sirens, don’t sweat the small stuff.

Kids are fed straight amphetamine (Adderall) for Attention Deficit Syndrome Disroder male child pain-in-the-butt. How addictive is all the speed you can swallow? It certainly rots their teeth like the front row at a Willie Nelson concert Feed a kid clonidine and get a vegetable. Add on Wellbutrin to obtain a horny vegetable.
