    Provigil, what is this drug?
    Real name modafinil

    Many poker players and medial job workers take it to stay focused, infact some poker players credit it to winning millions of dollars in a short period of time. There are no known side affects, and it's been on the market for years.

    The movie LIMITLESS was based on provigil, basically an all encompassing focus drug with no drag or noticeability. Would be perfect for sitting on your ass for 8 hours and wrecking everyone at poker

    Narcolepsy drug. They also prescribe it to shift workers.

    I know a few people who take it. They all to a man say they guarantee they're more alert and can focus and learn like on brain steroids.

        Staying Awake doesn't avoid bad beats though.

            For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

                    tried it in college. you dont just take it and focus like a stimulant. its for pulling an all nighter you wont feel really tired or sick. so if you tried to pull an all nighter the old way you would hit that wall at like 6am. but with the pill you just dont feel tired or fatigued. pretty solid stuff

                      i used to always play poker on short acting adderall and xanax. I had the energy to play for hours and was too relaxed to give away tells or care if i got a bad beat. I was a freaken statue on that combo playing poker. Only way to could do the main event with all the hoopla and stars everywhere.

                        going to order some today. i think it does have some effect on dopamine

                        so it will probably turn out to be another dead end

                          Provigil is the old version .
                          Nuvigil is the new one which is same but time released.
                          I take it a few times a week.
                          Easiest way to get a Rx is got doctor and tell him
                          you just switched shifts at work and have trouble
                          staying awake at night, some guys at work told you about it
                          and gave you a few pills to try and it worked well.
                          And you wanted to get your own Rx instead of mooching from them.
                          Your Dr will have Rx filled out before you're done with your sentence.
                          It's expensive Walmart is like $750 for 30 day supply
                          so make sure your insurance covers it.
                          There is a free 30 day trial on their website good until end of year i think.
                          I only take a half pill when i do take it, 2-3 times a week
                          It will mess with your sleep if you take too late, so take time to get use to it.
                          Any question about it just ask
                          It works great

                              It's easy to build up tolerance taking it every day, so use sparingly.

                                They are all around us, in a secret society of the successful. What gives them an advantage, though, isn't purposefulness or perseverance but the pill Provigil.

                                  Yea, if you're a bad player all it does is make you awake longer to lose more money.

                                    yeah it would be like a 2 times a month thing. seems ANYTHING i take that releases dopamine (adderall, ritalin, wellbutrin, booze, painkillers, anything) makes me feel like crap for a week. best thing is just reg meds and sunshine/exercise

                                    cant wait until tomorrow to work out

                                      Tony you sound like your figuring out what works best for you

                                      Rest, relaxation, sun, exercise and good diet pretty much a cure all.

                                      I like Ice water as well. Not sure why.

                                      Stay away from meds, Tony. They don't mix well what you're on.
