Striking to see the prevalence of modafinil in this Astral Codex Ten reader survey: ~60% as widely-used as caffeine. And more used than l-theanine (i.e. green tea)!
Surprising also to see an SSRI (Zembrin) fare so well as a putative nootrope.

60% as widely used *among people who took a survey specifically about nootropics*! (I originally thought this was from the general SSC survey, which would have been way more surprising.)

Illegally. I don’t take it anymore, but 2.5 years ago I was prescribed modafinil by my PCP as part of some sleep issues. Insurance dragged their feet in approving, so I raced the system vs. the gray market. Got pills in hand from the latter long before former. Surprisingly easy.
