"excellent drug i have been taking it now 1.5 years.  before  i was taking adderall 30mg er for  my traumatic brain injury from auto accident 2007.   from the accident  i went into a coma and suffered head injuries to the frontol lobe.  recently i stopped the adderall and feel much calmer and happy without the side effects of adderall. now i am just taking modafinal 200 mg. i gained about 8lbs in the first three weeks to a stable weight which is ok but my brain is much clearer. i&#039;m fortunate i don&#039;t have to pay for modafinal as i&#039;m totally disabled and have chronic fatigue syndrome due to opioids. i have not been taking them for  25 years due to work related injuries from a government law enforcement job.  the cfs is opioid induced so my wc doctor writes it for that.."
