A member asked:

Can modafinil let person acess maximum brain?does it uplift mood?how much dose is recommended for begginers?how to know if it doesn't suit?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Does not seem for U: Modanifil is used for persons who are too sleepy during the day to keep them alert and wakeful. It is not for treatment of depression which your complaints and medications suggest. Did a doctor recommend it for some reason?
