For most people, prescription stimulants like the one created by Cephalon Pharmaceuticals are unnecessary. The majority of the population has and enjoys a natural circadian rhythm which allows them to sleep normally and awake in the morning fresh and refreshed. There are many, however, that do not.

It is this portion of the population that has kept coffee producers of the world and the soft drink companies in business for many years. We are the reason energy drinks have become so popular (because it’s not the taste that has made them so great).

For whatever reason, swing shift, split shift, night shift, night life or 12 hour shifts… some people cannot fall into a routine that allows for enough quality sleep and the results are very apparent when they show up as fatigue, sleeplessness and poor health.

As our lives continue to get busier and become filled with more things to do, places to be and less time to get there, be there and do them; we start looking for ways to eek a few more minutes out of each and every hour of each and every day. Unfortunately for us, our bodies were not designed to run 24/7, seven days a week; but some of us try to run them like that anyway and the results are sometimes devastating to our bodies.

Stimulants are generally our first course of action, usually in the form of caffeine or sugar. A large coffee from the Golden Arches or a 20oz Mt. Dew from the corner store is what we turn to in order to get going in the morning. Both are effective for a brief amount of time but eventually the crash comes and that dismal, mind numbing fatigue hits and seems to keep us from getting all the things we wanted to do done. Some will even turn to illicit street drugs like methamphetamine only to find out the hard way that the price of that decision is way too high.

Some people, like me, turned to high sugar (and high dollar) energy drinks to start the day but they to begin to lose their stimulating power after a few weeks. Our bodies grow tolerant to the supplements and resistant to the effects of the glucose that used to give us the ‘boost’.

So what now? What do we do when the first two or three or even four hours of our day are shrouded in a dense fog of fatigue? When every step forward seems to take more and more effort and the fog in your brain starts to slow down your thinking, what are our options? This is when we start looking for an alternative to caffeine and sugar, hopefully something that won’t make you jittery and restless.

Modafinil online was one of my options and I learned about it in a Readers Digest magazine in 2004. However it was that we discovered Modafinil, whether we heard about it from a friend or saw an article online about a pill that helps you stay awake, the result is the same; a spark of hope was created with that discovery.

I found out that Modafinil is used to increase alertness and decrease anxiety and sleepiness in those who take it. That sounds good. I also found out that there is very little chance of dependency because it is not an amphetamine. That’s even better. I learned that Modafinil is commonly prescribed for people with narcolepsy, but many people use it for a host of other “off label” reasons. It just keeps getting better! The best part? You can buy Modafinil online without a prescription. A simple web search shows you several websites that sell it. Your miracle cure is here!

Hold on now. Sure, you can buy Modafinil online with no prescription, but that doesn’t make it a good idea. You still need to speak with your doctor about using prescription medication to treat your ailments. Modafinil is a prescription drug and there are contraindications and side effects to consider that may make Modafinil online unsuitable for you. You really do need to take the time to talk to your doctor first.

Buying Modafinil online is fairly simple but you want to make sure the company you purchase Modafinil from is reputable and has a good track record. Forums are a good place to get information about where to buy Modafinil online but be on the lookout for ads in the form of testimony. There are lots of people out there just trying to make a buck.

Prices for Modafinil online can range anywhere from $30 to $300. There are many different generic brand names for Modafinil but the one brand name you will NEVER receive when buying Modafinil online is Provigil. Provigil is the brand name that Cephalon, the creators of Modafinil, market this medication as. When you purchase prescription Modafinil online you will always receive a generic brand, always. That is just the way it is. I prefer the Spier Pharmaceutical brand of Modafinil myself.

One very important thing to remember is that taking Modafinil is not a replacement for actual quality sleep. No matter how busy you are or how important the ‘deadline’ may seem, creating a work-life balance and getting enough sleep is important for your overall health. Over time, the effects of too much medication and not enough sleep will take its toll and your body will demand more rest in the form of poor health and sickness.
