In reply to provigil ecstasy?!?, posted by scott-d-o on January 27, 2004, at 15:16:02
The Provigil high was not at all uncomfortable, and this is coming from someone who is trembling like crazy with anxiety with a small dose of Ritalin. I compared it to MDMA (methylenedioxymethylamphetamine) as that's a drug more people are familiar with, but truthfully it felt *exactly* like its chemical cousin, MDE (methylenedioxyethylamphetamine) -- known on the streets as "Eve" (MDA [methylenedioxyamphetamine] is "Adam"). I used to have a pure source of powder MDE, which I actually preferred over MDMA. But don't just take my word for it -- I gave Provigil to four friends of mine one night who all enjoy the occasional tab of XTC and they were absolutely astounded.
In case you're not familiar with MDE's effects, versus those of MDMA, here's something I came across that describes it to a T:
"The effects were very similar in direction and tone to MDMA, but with much less physical body pleasure, less memory disruption, less unbridled euphoria, less need/desire to talk talk talk, feeling more quiet, very positive mood, pleasant but consistent warm body vibration / trembling. Made for an excellent chance to connect, much like with MDMA, but without the strong negative effects generally experienced both during and after MDMA."
Of course, a dose of MDE has a duration of action of about 8 hours start to finish, while the Provigil high is a 24-hour thing.
My conclusion -- at least in higher doses, there's *much* more to modafinil than meets the eye.
