Summary
In June 2023 they reported taking modafinil for a few months and said it did absolutely nothing for them other than raise their heart rate and sometimes make their aches less noticeable. They still had the aches. They were weighing dexamphetamine on its own as an alternative, having heard its comedown was less bad than with Ritalin or others.
