Provigil (Modafinil) and training

I've been reading a lot about this lately because I can't seem to get used to work shift. I'm working from 3-11 most days or somewhere around there (I don't have a set schedule). So when I get home from work, I'm not normally falling asleep until around 3am (I'm writing this at 2:25am) and I have a hard time getting up before 10-11. With all that said, I've been reading about this because it's supposed to help keep you awake and focused throughout the day. Similar to ritalin or adderall, but doesn't seem to have the bad sides the others do which makes this one so enticing. Has anyone ever taken it? I've heard that Barry Bonds and others were prescribed them to help them stay focused for baseball games and for focusing during training as well. I just wondered if it'd help keep you focused for an hour at the gym if you were to take it say and hour before you went in.

i think we talked about this before but if not i was prescribed it but it fucked me up had me actually lose more focus and i forgot simple shit

some people love it though i just had bad experience. hell ive got like 20 left ill sell you joking
