well for coffee i dont know about recreational effects, it only has so much caffeine in it (but it will hit you wih mild Euphoria if you go a month without it and then have a cup). Consider pure caffeine tho, thats not too much different from Amphetamine - Caffeine pills are routinely sold as ecstasy or speed. Think more along the lines of energy drinks like Red Bull.Exactly. Coffee has definite recreational effects for me. Been addicted since I was 12.
Compared to speed, it's much more adrenergic and jittery, though. Modafinil is similar to me, better'n coffee, but not speed.
Modafinil isnt as adrenergic or jittery as pure Caffeine or Amphetamine, your head remains totally clear, you arnt fidgeting and getting distracted. I doesnt feel like a stimulant to me at all, and perhaps most importantly there are no withdrawal symptoms (even after continuous use). It can be stopped easily, unlike amphetamine - in fact im going to ahead and say the withdrawal symptoms from stopping Coffee are actually worse than Modafinil lol. Sounds insane but its true.
