Nootropic for Work or Study?

Coders and Designers Alike !!

I infrequently use Modafnil as a stimulant when I need to get a lot of monotonous work done.

I have heard on the interwebs that Modafnil, while it boosts your focus, stifles your creativity.

I haven't felt that, but then again its a very subjective thing, this creativity.

What have your experiences been, trying to be creative while on Mod ?

(I also use natural Nootropics like Brahmi and Ashvagandha, but their effect kicks in after a week and requires months of administration for noticeable improvement)

(Modafnil is considered to be a very safe Nootropic, but do let me know if discussing this goes against Qoto guidelines)

@Full_marx Thanks for opening a new and interesting reading topic for me. Starting with a backgrounder, on what nootropics are.

I see caffeine mentioned in the page, but no mention of Guarana, which is an Amazonian plant that has been long used for its stimulating properties.

We did use that (in a powder form, a spoon full dissolved in water) to help with academic work load in my uni days.
