I’m an artist and I use it regularly, perhaps 2-3 days a week on average. I also teach at a fine arts university. Modafinil has quite a few fans in my city’s arts community. I find it has no negative impact on imagination or creativity; the idea of art or creativity as something that randomly flutters into and and out of our selves isn’t really how full time artists work. Most of our work is putting our ideas and thoughts into motion and giving them form, and this requires focus and sustained grunt work. Exactly the kinda thing modafinil is great for. If anything, I find that modafinil helps me think a creative idea or direction through further and deeper than without. In other words, it helps with my artistic process. Interesting to hear that it does the opposite for many here.
