"i&#039;ve severe add, in romania adhd was recognised for adults only a couple of years ago, ritalin like meds aren&#039;t legal for adults, only strattera and i need to take my parents to testify i&#039;d had symptoms since my childhood - impossible. as i also used to fight not to fall asleep during the day, e.g. tramways, my family doctor wrote a prescription modafinil 100mg -i  couldn&#039;t afford to buy more, it was ~e100, now ~e20. tried one pill in my free days - had no real effect. later i found a bigger dose had a great effect on my add. dosage matters. huge help for depression from not being able to handle your life &amp; for related pb. i&#039;m 42 - quality of life &amp; being able to have things done matters more than some side effects (headaches used to be just at first)"
