I think one of the things that worries me about Modafinil is that we simply don't know what the long term consequences of taking it are.
What it exactly does and how it works is also very unclear.
From wiki:
Right now, my body is working great and I am aging well. I am 35 and people think I am 27 or 28, and if need be I can pass for even younger.
When I am 70, I want to be the guy that can jog on the beach in the morning, and bang 40 something yoga instructors in the evening.
I don't want to be sitting in a wheelchair drooling on myself trying to remember my own name.
What if modafinil dramatically increases the risk of Alzheimers, dementia, parkinsons, etc???
If cigarettes had only been around for the past 16 years, it would seem like they were pretty safe. You would know plenty of people who had smoked a pack a day for a long time, and none of them would have died from cancer, so why not do it?

Although the mechanism of action of modafinil was initially unknown, it now appears that drug acts as a selective, relatively weak, atypical dopamine reuptake inhibitor, a notion that is supported by an abundance of evidence. However, it appears that other, additional mechanisms may also be at play.

Que cuando llega ya se ha ido
Volando vengo, volando voy
Deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido"
