A report in the Melbourne AGE newspaper details research at Sydney's National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, where two doctors have been using the narcolepsy drug
Modafinil (Provigil) for the treatment of addiction to crystal meth.
More than 80 dependent methamphetamine users took either modafinil or a dummy medication daily for 10 weeks. Those who received modafinil cut their methamphetamine use by more than half, significantly better than those who received the placebo.
My experiences with Modafinil have demonstrated that in the right situations, and the right dosages, it can be very pleasant. Not nearly as much good, clean craziness as a week-long speed binge, but hey, at least you can go to sleep!
