Last winter my seatmate on the Cancún shuttle bragged he’d just paid 22 USD for a thirty-tablet box of genuine Provigil. Same strip that sets you back three hundred-plus at a U.S. CVS. He showed the receipt like it was a winning lottery ticket; I snapped a photo so you can see the math yourself. […]

I used to fall asleep at red lights. Three cups of coffee, window down, music blaring–nothing helped after a 14-hour night shift in the ER. Then an attending scribbled “Provigil 200 mg” on a pink pad and said, “Pick it up before you kill somebody.” Thirty minutes after the first pill I felt like someone […]

You know the feeling–alarm rings at 6:00, your brain is still parked in neutral, and the inbox is already screaming. A Vancouver courier pilot told me he pops a single 200 mg tab thirty minutes before the pre-flight brief; by the time he’s buckled in, the fog is gone and the approach plates actually make […]

I used to brew a triple espresso at 3 a.m. before driving to the hospital for a 12-hour shift. By 9 a.m. the tremor in my left hand was stronger than the caffeine buzz, and the chart in front of me looked like a foreign language. A resident whispered, “Try half a Provigil, break the […]
