My experience using Provigil
In my quest for the latest news and views regarding provigil use as a cognitive enhancer I travel along the highways and by-ways of the Internet reading what others have to say about how they use provigil, or one of its many generic variants.
As the article below will pay witness, using modafinil/provigil/modalert can be very dose specific and it can take a little time experimenting before you find which dose works for you.

Modafinil/Modapro user experience
I’m a 52 year old, work full time, married etc. I’m also studying for a degree part-time, so obviously many late nights. I was interested in Modafinil for obvious reasons – anything that may help me through my final dissertation year would be great and the alleged cognitive boosting effects would be welcome.
I ordered 90x 100mg Modapro, (generic provigil AKA Modalert). No problems, they arrived about a month ago.
The first day I took 300mg in three doses, morning afternoon and late evening. I immediately noticed a raised level of attention, a little bit of a cranked feeling you would get from a very small amount of amphetamine, but this started to wear off by the next day. Although I felt more alert, at the same time my head felt like cotton wool. Not good.
The following day I decided to take 50mg in the morning and 50mg in the afternoon. I continued like this for several days. By the next day I felt fine, no side effects – in fact I didn’t notice anything at all.
The following week I increased the dose to 200mg a day, split am and pm. This I feel does the trick. For me, the effects of this drug are very subtle. Do not expect a dramatic change to how you feel. Also, and I know this will vary from person to person, but there is no way Modapro will keep you awake like stimulants. I can still catnap in the afternoons BUT I often prefer to switch on my computer and get on with some work. I may still feel a bit sleepy but I’m capable of focussing on work more easily.
Occasionaly I will take an extra 100mg between 10-11pm if working on a project. Before taking Modapro I would usually get up at about 8:00am and go to bed between 1-2am. Nothing has changed and I sleep normally, no weird dreams or anything.
On the cognitive enhancement side, well this is tricky because if you took a magic pill to boost your IQ, you probably wouldn’t feen any different. You would need to go through various tests to confirm this. I can’t answer this. Subjectively, all I can tell you is that I feel that I may be performing a little better than normal, compared to where I was, doing my degree last year. I also feel slightly more animated when in discussion but of course this could be coincidence or placebo effect.
There have been a couple of mornings where I’ve forgotten to take my tablet. On those days I felt noticeably sleepy, not terribly so but enough to make me realise that I’d forgotten the morning dose. This could be the rebound of not taking the dose or perhaps this is how I would have normally felt that day without modapro at all. Who knows?
