Modafinil and euphoria
Original post in this thread

I have read cases where individuals feel some euphoria from modafinil and was wondering if this was something that often happens? I took my first 200mg of modafinil today at roughly 9am. I did some work I had planned of doing and was "in the zone" so to speak. After about 2 hours I felt a bit of euphoria. My problem with this feeling is I find my emotions are exaggerated and with that I've discovered I am not myself. I love the focus aspect and cognitive benefits mod offers but I am hoping this euphoric feeling subsides after pro-longed use. Also I felt a bit of a come down that didn't last too long. Any input would be appreciated, sorry if I am beating the dead modafinil horse.
Update: I have taken it for the fourth time today and the euphoric feeling has subsided. Thank you to everyone who responded with insight and information.

I figured I'd get a response like this. I used to do a lot of MDMA and almost overdosed on one occasion and haven't touched it since. The euphoric feeling with Modafinil is bittersweet because I'm reminded of that scary experience I had with MDMA. Also, like I stated earlier, when you get that "high" you become overly empathetic and I just feel like it's fake.

I definitely know how you feel. I've seen many people that have overdone it with various drugs start to feel that pushy euphoria as fake. I've even felt it myself a couple times. Sometimes you just want to feel normal.
