Interestingly, modafinil is as good as a placebo for high performers, but does seem to help low performers more.

In what way? Do you continue to experience unwanted effects?

Whatever it did, I basically didn't have anymore small nerve endings. They took a biopsy from my leg (which was super painful) and sent it off to a lab and that's how I found it.

After a year of not taking it, I was still having neuropathy all over. Didn't know it my nerves were going to grow back, but I had a hypothesis that even if they didn't, if I put a lot of new meat on my body, then the new meat would have to have new nerves.

So I started lifting weights and eating stakes, which put on about 30 pounds of muscle and it worked. Now I feel great. Regular exercise and eating well is good enough for me now. Makes me feel way better than any of the medications the docs put me on.

I still have issues in my fingers and feet from time to time, but I figure that's just a scar I'll have to keep and serves as a reminder to me not to rush to a doc for medication for every little problem I have.

Awesome! Wow, what an experience – but also, great comeback! 👍🏻

Very much agreed. Doctors are a last resort, and even then it's important to get someone with holistic understanding.

What you did is what people need to do to feel great and be healthy.
