==Subjective effects==

The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]]. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.

In comparison to traditional stimulants such as amphetamine, this compound induces an experience which is far less forceful, recreational and euphoric. It instead focuses on general [[wakefulness]] and [[motivation enhancement]].

===Physical effects===

~~The physical effects of modafinil can be broken down into several components. These are described below and generally include:~~

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the user's physical energy levels, modafinil is commonly considered to be stimulating and energetic, but can be considered as much less stimulating when compared to [[amphetamine]]. This stimulation encourages physical movement and activities such as running, playing sports, socializing, and/or exercising. The particular style of stimulation which modafinil presents can result in jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or other involuntary movements comparable to that of traditional stimulants at high doses, but are manifested much less consistently and intensely when compared to [[amphetamine]] or [[cocaine]].

*'''[[Effect::Dehydration]]''' - Dehydration and dry mouth commonly occur due to an increase in motivation to engage in physical activities as well as an increased sense of focus which causes one to forget to drink water.

===Cognitive effects===

~~The cognitive effects of modafinil can be broken down into several components. These are described below and generally include:~~

*'''[[Effect::Wakefulness]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Focus enhancement]]'''
