If you’re in the US or other country with highly trained pharmacists, ask your pharmacist. They know drugs even better than drs. Otherwise, ask your dr

Its a wakefulness drug. For people that have narcolepsy or shift workers.

It wont motivate you it will keep you awake.
I tried it a few times.

I was very hopeful about modafinil making me want to do stuff but it didnt help.

It was cheap too. My pdoc prescribed 30 pills and it was 16 bucks

I tried ritalin too. I ended up with anxiety attacks and sensory overload after about 1 month. Also got a bit paranoid thoughts hearing some crow was pecking at my window or airconditioner but nothing was there.
I didnt want to try adderall or dexedrine or vyvanse because i think id get psychosis from it.

I think if you take it with purpose. Like have a plan to do whatever you need to like “study math section 5” take it then do that within 20mins of taking it.

You can do other tricks for procrastination that arnt drug related.

Set a 5 minute timer and study for 5 mins. You will probably want to do more later

Procrastination is like an inertia problem.

Also close off social media for 30 mins so you wont gravitate towards that

Is avolition the same thing as adhd procrastination?

Maybe the can be treated the same way. At the risk of positive symptoms.

I dont think it is. I tried adhd drugs for that it didnt work unfortunately.
Ironically ritalin made me less focused!

But its worth a try.

I don’t believe avolition is not the same as procrastination. I think avolition is wanting to do something but not being able to find the mental and physical energy to do it, despite wanting to. I could be wrong though. I have no idea about the adhd factor.
