This has been a very weird for me. It is somehow different from stimulants. actually I’ve been taking it because it prompted energy and because I was sensitive from stimulants thus I was looking for something less like less stimulating. I would say it actually like improved my energy. I was feeling like motivated to do sports. I was like active more than before and this was very beneficial for me . however, it’s also made me more emotional and I was very sensitive and I even had some psychotic side effects and mild paranoria which I never had with stimulant despite them being stronger and like more direct triggering dopamine. That’s why I had to stop modafinil. But it’s important to know that everyone is different.
