Any recovery people out there that have used modafinal? Was interested in it but I'm hesitant to use anything that could possibly compromise my sobriety. I read that its effects are very mild and that its different from an actual stimulant. I have brain fog from time to time
My recovery is good man. Been away from the drugs and alcohol 5 years now. Thank you for the responseVery mild is an understatement. I don’t know how your recovery is going for you but I feel adding a drug to help with wakefulness might set you on a path to finding another compound that could set you back.
Since 2/23/15 for me. My philosophy is that taking things to replace natural functions makes the problem harder to fix - same thing with the peace of mind we got from using.My recovery is good man. Been away from the drugs and alcohol 5 years now. Thank you for the response
How much were you taking?I would avoid it for sure... it felt very similar to Adderall to me. Then a pretty hard crash when it wore off.
How much were you taking?
Good point about what your thing was before getting sober. I’m sure some upper lovers could take Vicodin for an injury and feel like shit. Someone like me takes one pill and it brings everything back.I think they come in 100mg and 200mg tabs? I took 200mg and thought it was too much so I split it in half and took 100mg.
100mg felt okay, but I just didn't really care for the effects... I felt very wired albeit productive, no appetite and around 3pm I felt the crash coming on. Even at 100mg I felt like I was drained from being overstimulated at the end of the day. I think it could be helpful for some people, I just wouldnt recommend to anyone in recovery... especially someone that has struggled with stimulants.
Yes I definitely avoid places where drug addicts hang out. I dont go to bars as I dont really have any business there. My family takes up most of my time which is a good thing.What is your attitude towards the stuff you used to use? Do you have to avoid situations where there is drugs/alcohol used?
I'm 7years+ clean, I'm disgusted by everything, will never ever do it again. Could use modafinil and not have a relapse. It's just not very appealing to me to use it, specially the reduced appetite.

I’ve had 4 surgeries and refused them for everyone of the surgeries it sucks but it’s the only way for me to make it. The surgery before those 2 percocets turned into a 6 month fentanyl run. Those 2 percs woke up a monsterGood point about what your thing was before getting sober. I’m sure some upper lovers could take Vicodin for an injury and feel like shit.

I just had surgery and the pills were a mind fuck. I’m fine now but even after almost 9 years sober, I felt that addict part of my mind wake up and was glad when it was over.
My point is, a person could take the same Mod pill as me and find that it makes them euphoric or speedy, and I just feel... not tired.
So it has a strong affect on suppressing appetite ??
I don't know if it was really appetite suppression or if I was just kind of on a roll with so many tasks that I would work through lunch... if you're thinking of taking it for appetite suppression it wouldnt be my second or even third choice.
