Yeah, I’ve noticed the same thing honestly. Everyone seems to react a bit differently to Modalert and Waklert — for some it’s an all-day productivity boost, while for others it’s more about short bursts of focus.

The caffeine part is so true too. I tried combining it with coffee once and just ended up feeling jittery instead of actually getting work done 😅

I also agree with what you said about Artvigil feeling smoother. That’s been my experience as well during longer sessions, while Modvigil feels a bit lighter and less intense overall.

At the end of the day, it really feels like these work best when used occasionally and not as a substitute for proper sleep. Good to see someone else sharing a balanced take on it 👍

I used to think all these Modafinil/Waklert experiences would feel consistent, but my experience has been the opposite 
There was one week where Modvigil actually felt really helpful during work I could sit, think clearly, and just get through tasks without constantly drifting off.
Then a few days later, same dose, same routine… and it felt almost useless. Just awake, but not really in the zone at all
That’s when I realised it’s not just the medicine, it’s what kind of mental state you’re already in before taking it.
If I’m already stressed or mentally overloaded, it doesn’t fix that it just keeps me awake in that same headspace.
