It's amazing

@Pwc1, yes it is. The movie Limitless was based on Provigil, but to a slightly higher degree haha. It's a smart drug that was originally to treat narcolepsy or ppl working irregular hours. Then the military started using it to keep special Ops teams up and alert for up to 3 days during missions. In the last 10 years neuroscience has seen its ability to treat people with head trauma to offset mental fatigue and cognitive memory that may have been damaged as a result. I have a script and it beats the hell out of anything else on the market

Its not a stimulant, it was designed as a smart drug. So rather than keep you up like a stimulant, it turns off the part of the brain that needs to go to sleep. It also increases attn and focus without the upper or crash after. Provigil/Nuvigil are brand names.

How do you go about and get one?

^truth - unlike adderall, vyvanse, etc, Provigil/Nuvigil is not well known as a smart drug until recently with neurologists which is why you hardly ever see it. Had a head injury a few years back and have been on it ever since

They are finding impacts to IQ that have long term improvement even after no longer taking it. I wouldn't take it everyday but it is incredibly effective. Helps test taking as well

Agreed, if you don't truly need it, you shouldn't take it everyday. I need to though because of actually medical reasons

Understand that completely - do you find it makes you better at your job since you started taking it. It does make urine smell funny, how at least my body metabolizes it

Yeah I would definitely say so. My body metabolizes it pretty well, but one key thing is that since I need to take it regularly, if I don't take it my body will feel it so I can't really wind off it completely. I had switched to Nuvigil from Pro recently and thought it was better too. How about you

I get a big improvement in focus and memory - solid 12 hours but only take it when I am exhausted or really need to perform. I use generic but had samples of Pro and Nu when Cephalon first started to market with it. I prefer nuvigil but just because it seemed to release faster.

Yeah definitely, a Nuvigil with a coffee makes the quickest release ever. 15 minutes and your world is more clear than ever

And colon is clear

My partner and I planned a trip with all of his friends and their wives before I knew I was pregnant. We will be going and I’m 8 weeks pregnant. I considered not going because I feel like without them all knowing I’m pregnant they’re going to think I’m super lame. We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..
