nootropics

Modafinil is a class above caffeine.

→ Less addictive
→ More powerful and longer-lasting
→ Little to no impact on falling asleep (if taken early in the morning)
→ Alleviates sleep deprivation

I don't understand why it requires a prescription while caffeine is available OTC.

I hit a tolerance wall with modafinil.  After about 2 weeks it no longer had any effect at all. It was quite nice for the first week though.

It's not meant to be taken daily. That will ruin your sleep and yes, you will develop tolerance.

At the time it was. It was prescribed as a first line ADHD medication quite often while under original patent.

Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't know it was meant to treat a condition for you.

No worries. 

When it was still new, it was very commonly prescribed because it had less abuse potential than most stimulant treatments. That, as I’m sure you can imagine, was not the case.
