Like being "baseline" vs being wired. Dexedrine was the first thing I was put on and I was on it for half a year. Cycling off it on the weekends was agonizing: exhaustion like I'd never felt before, depression, sleeping for 12 hours at a time.

Modafinil makes me feel like myself but a more productive version. The big issue with me has always been starting a task and modafinil makes a scary task a lot more approachable. My thoughts are more ordered, I can see the bigger architecture of a thing, verbal fluency is improved. I cycle off it Saturdays and Sundays and that works just fine for me.
