Ever been in a situation where you’re out to complete a task, but you feel dull, unmotivated, and restless? If yes, you’re not alone. Many people also experience this problem and thus turn to nootropics such as modafinil and armodafinil to hack their brains and quickly increase focus and performance.
Whether you’re entirely new to using modafinil off-label for focus or are already familiar with it, you’ll definitely learn something new here that will help you get the best out of it. Let’s dive in!
Modafinil Features
Modafinil belongs to a class of drugs called stimulants. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat 3 main sleep disorders. They include:
narcolepsy;
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA);
shift work sleep disorder (SWSD).
Although it is safe and super-effective for treating these conditions, it is more commonly used off-label as a cognitive enhancer to increase focus, boost memory, increase alertness, and ultimately boost productivity [1]. It is for these benefits you’ll find top-level executives of Fortune 500 corporations, engineers, programmers, students, celebrities, and business analysts, among other professionals from all walks of life, using it.
Modafinil is available in 2 strengths: 100 mg and 200 mg. It typically comes in a white tablet that may be round, capsule-shaped, elliptical, or oval, depending on the brand behind its production [2].
