Hi,
Modafanil IS a Schedule 3 CDS itself, or 4, but its definitely controlled. I tweaked hard for 9 years, switching from Coke to Meth to Adderall to Ritalin to Modafanil is no different than going from Heroin to Methadone to Percocet to Vicodin. You cannot treat drug addiction with drugs, if you could, I'd do it. Its called substitution. I tried, and learned the hard way. But that's just my experience. Maybe this will work for you.

Modafanil is definitely lightweight compared to meth or even amphetamine, but it still tickles the same receptors that meth and amphetamine feed, and the phenomenon of craving continues. I knew a guy who was on Modafanil maintenance, and all he wanted was to get back on stronger amphetamine.

Anyone addicted to stims should detox, and go to NA or AA, in my opinion.

If psychiatry worked to cure addiction, well, you figure it out.

Modafanil is a stimulant. Do the math. Or learn the hard way, by taking the path of least resistance. The easy way is the hard way. The hard way is the easy way, when taking the long view, which few addicts want to do.

Be Well,
Joe
