ever take provigil before working out?

[carapace2]

I recently got a perscription for Provigil (modanalifil, or something like that) for sleep apnea. Seems like when i go into the gym, i can lift with greater intensity and strength.
Has anyone ever tried this?

i have... never really noticed much of a difference. Maybe a bit more focused in what i'm doing, but that focus seems to subside once I start to work up a sweat.

I heard about this stuff and know some pilots that take it to stay more alert and they tell me it works.From what I hear though its more of a smart drug than a amphetamine. Probably better off with 200 mg caffeine before working out but I'd be interested in what others who have tried provigil have to say. Was thinking about trying some. I don't think it's scheduled in the USA or if it is it's not very tight, its easy to get.

What kind of pilots? The airforce guys are on speed!

Don't like it before lifting. For some reason, while it gives me general focus and mind clarity, I adopt an "eh" attitude if I use modafinil before lifting.

Love it for everything else, though.
