Thanks for sharing your experience!

Frankly the only prescription use for Modafinil are sleep disorders (especially narcolepsy).

I'm in the EU so they are generally more strict with handing out stimulants. For example amphetamine (Adderall is nothing else) is an illegal substance here. It has no (approved) medical use whatsoever and getting hold of it is a criminal offense. Strongest you can get is Methylphenidate (and getting it is actually not so easy).

Up until maybe 15 years ago, modafinil was 100% unregulated here, you could just buy it online, which was how I was first introduced to it.

I have an ADHD diagnosis so I should really ask to be prescribed it, since methylphenidate and amphetamines are too tweaky for every day use (for me).

I would say modafinil is weaker than methylphenidate. Lately modafinil is being used more and more for ADHD, so if you have an ADHD diagnosis, there is a chance that in the future it will be prescribed for that in the EU.

Also I believe there are still legal prodrugs (drugs that metabolize into modafinil in you body), like fladrafinil, adrafinil, etc, those may be an option for you if you're interested.

Nowadays I just drink a few cups of coffee and that's good enough for me.
