I passed my drug test by the way.
So after trying Provigil for the first time, I really don't see a difference between what benefits you get with meth and what benefits you get with provigil. From what I understand, Meth is a energetic high, you have a ton of energy and you're able to have extreme focus (yes, i've "done" it, but I honestly didn't feel all that much. I barely even had 1/4 a grain size), while provigil does the same exact thing. Obvioulsy meth has horrendous side effects, but I'm not talking about that. Like, if I were to use a good amount of meth, then a few days later take a provigil, will I experience the same things pretty much (same benefits)? I took provigil for the first time today at work, and I was wowed. It was clean energy, not energy that other drugs give you or caffeine. Like it wasn't jittery, paranoia or anything like that. I was my normal self, with the exception that I wasn't hungry AT ALL and I was able to focus on the task at hand very well, and of course I felt like I had gotten the best sleep ever and I woke up refreshed. That alone is a huge difference, so many times I wake up feeling like I got a few hours of sleep, I don't wake up feel energized and ready for the day. My friend wants me to try his meth again, and honestly I'm thinking, why should I try it again when I've got Provigil, something that is legal and will give me the same benefits?? I've also been reading that taking 2 stimulants too close to each other is extremely dangerous.

I definitely think you should stick with the Provigil. It works and you don't become a Provigil addict, like folks can with Meth. Plus, as you say, Provigil is legal. Yeah, too many stimulants would be bad news.

I take Provigil. I've never tried meth, but this caught my eye since not many people take Provigil; it is totally expensive, even as a generic and not really approved for anything other than sleep issues.
It is a stimulant and you are right that it is not that jittery type, but very focusing and even calm. That's because it is not an amphetamine so it is not in that class of drugs. You can develop a tolerance I believe, but it isn't quite the same as addiction. Meth really sounds like it is pure addiction and very damaging to mind and body. I don't know if it is worth playing Russian roulette. If you already feel okay with Provigil, why take such a risk?

I wanted Provigil but in my country we like to test run drugs on Americans for like 15 years before we try them here in my retarded country. So I don't know anyone IRL who takes it.
I needed more energy, I have a lot of stuff that simply drains me. So I had to do the long route getting diagnosed with ADD (2 year waiting list...), then being prescribed Ritalin. While in fact I wanted to try Provigil. But yea. When I mentioned it to doc I was told it was basically a fake med and it just causes static energy and jitters. So I pretty much dropped it from my list on interesting meds. Now it got on there again. So it DOES create true and focused energy? Gasp. If it was me and I had a choice between a street drug and a pharmacy drug I would do the latter. Not that legal stuff is always less harmful but because someone is responsible for prescribing, there is no issue with supply and that someone else might pay (hopefully). Also not having to worry about breaking the law is of course also a bonus.

Provigil is approved for narcoplepsy, sleep apnea, and night shift workers so it is about sleep and providing alertness. I am using for daytime fatigue and sleepiness associated with depression and had to get special approval. I have anxiety so an amphetamine stimulant would really be bad for me. This is different. It makes me feel calm and focussed, gives me a sense that I am capable of having the energy and concentration to get through longer tasks and last longer during the day. And it works almost immediately at a relatively low dose.
I was on Provigil before, for 6 years, using it for the same reasons. I had the same response back then too. And in the 6 years, I only had to increase the dose a little bit so there is tolerance after a while, but it isn't such a big deal. I was told that Provigil was used by military pilots who were did not have enough sleep to help them be able to pilot plans under those conditions.

The difference is that one destroys your life and the other does not.
Stick with the Provigil.

I really don't know from experience or understand how amphetamines work with ADHD but I would stay away from meth. Primarily because you have no idea who cooked it. There is a lot of what we used to call bath tub crank out there and you don't know what chemicals are in it. It is also a very powerful drug and can deplete your dopamine in a hurry and the you crash.

No no no no, do anything prescribed and never think of going down the ''meth'' road. The world is littered with ''human left~overs'' of the ones who stumbled upon meth and thought it was the answer to their prayers, it never is. Stick with the Provigil every time. HUGS. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
