• Modafinil vs. Ephedrine vs. Caffeine: Everyone and their mother knows about the terrific benefits of caffeine. Heck, there?s a pretty good chance that your own mother knew about the benefits of caffeine (in coffee or tea) when you were still in diapers. For the time being, it is likely just enough for bodybuilders to be aware that there is finally an alternative to caffeine named Modafinil, and it is available if you look hard enough!

• Erowid Experience Vaults: Tramadol, Hydrocodone & Modafinil - Effective Use, Misuse, Discontinuatio n - 39778: As far as quitting opiates goes, I?ve found that modafinil effectively thwarts both hydrocodone and tramadol withdrawal, for me at least. I use modafinil for wakefulness problems similar to narcolepsy but recently I noticed, after using some opiates with friends for a couple days off and on and then taking modafinil, that the after-party hangover didn?t exist (i.e. depression, lethargy, occasional craving for more opiates). I did two experiments where I took 60 mg and 80 mg of hydrocodone respectively on two different days and took my normal modafinil dose of 300 mg; I found that the opiates had little effect. Not much drowsiness, not much euphoria. Modafinil could be effective stuff for the occasional user that wants to minimize post-opiate discomfort.

• Researchers discover new mechanism for attentional control in the human brain: "We have shown that the way modafinil works is by quieting activity in the LC and increasing its connections with the frontal cortex," said Cameron Carter, a UC Davis professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and senior author of the study. "Now that we know how it works, we can develop better cognitive enhancers that can treat more people suffering from a wider variety of neurodevelopme ntal disorders, like ADHD, autism and schizophrenia, " he said
