What's the lowdown with this? Can it really aid concentration for studies and quash an appetite?
 
Modafinil is a useful stimulant for short term usage, it may at first make you feel more on the ball. It will help keep you awake, but since it is not an amphetamine and doesnt work in the same way dont expect amphetamine like effects. I eat less with this stuff but not to the degree of amps. IME it's like a nice cup of coffee that lasts all day long.

After daily use of for over a week i notice tolerance increase / short term memory problems.

My advice is use sparingly when you are tired and need to be awake, or maybe need a boost to stay focused on something.
 
OK cool, thanks for your reply.

What sort of dosage would you advise taking? When is best to take it (i.e. in the morning to work all day and night, or just in the evening?)

Does anyone have a recommended retailer they can advise in the UK?
 
It varies person to person. I would reccomend taking 100mg and waiting to see the effects before going higher. After a certain dose it can cause nasty headaches too.
 
No idea where you can get modafinil (and sourcing isn't allowed on BL anyway), but you might want to look into adrafinil. It is a pro-drug for modafinil (i.e. metabolizes into it), but AFAIK it can be legally bought w/o any script. It is said to be a little more heavy on the side-effects, though.

What do you take it for and at which dose?
I get it for ADD, 200mg in the morning and 100mg at 1300, was a bit of a struggle to get my doctor prescribing it though since he gives everyone Ritalin/Concerta the long working Ritalin(methylfenidate) but my feedback like non addicting etc convinced him I guess.
And it works :) but yes I do get headaches now and then.
