In reply to Which AD has closest effect to Modafinil's, posted by vic80 on July 19, 2010, at 17:20:05
I've tried a lot of things and its really an apples to oranges kind of thing. I've seen Modafinil been classified more as a 'wake promoter' than a stimulant. I've used it before and it does give me a bit of a 'lift' but its almost always used as an augment with an antidepressant rather than as an antidepressant by itself in the real world. To me, the most similar drug was dexedrine (which was marketed as a antidepressant a long time ago), but even thats not a great comparison. I've tried alot of antidepressants and since many people get different reactions (ie sleepy etc) its tough to give out a name. Modafinil is a precursor of Adrafinil so that is most drug gives you a mood lift, that woudld be the most similar.
