I feel like comments like yours are one reason doctors don't like prescribing it.

I'm glad you are able to be happy on modafinil, but think about what you just commented: (1) alternatives are hard to get, (2) you have to get your substitution from the Internet without a prescription, (3) once you are on the gear you are able to notice the same deficiency in others, (4) you attribute your success to it and (5) "fuck everyone" trying to speak people into drug-free alternatives.
