Cambridge kids illegally importing anti-narcoleptic Modafinil to stay focused

With finals upons us, it pays to study hard:

Modafinil was never meant for people like me. It was invented to stop narcoleptics falling asleep, then adapted to let soldiers stay up all night. But gradually it was noticed that as well as increasing wakefulness, the drug imp­roved concentration. I first sought my own hit after realising that four or five of my friends were using it to help them revise. With finals looming, they wanted to boost their concentration and fight the urge to slack off.

    Yeah, back in college I used adrafenil once to pull a 3-nighter. Same family of pharma, I think.

    Back in the day it was phentermin, ritalin and adderall. Sounds like the stuff is getting more refined with less side effects.
