Maybe creativity but at least for me definitely not problem solving. Modafinil on the other hand...



>modafinil

Has an interesting side effect of screwing with threshold of movement, particularly finger movement.

I play rhythm games (sifac, llsif, deresute, mirishita...) regularly and tried modafinil. My fingers wouldn't auto-move anymore, and furthermore even if I moved them consciously, it took more effort to do so.

At everything else, it puts caffeine to shame, with no tolerance buildup or withdrawal symptoms.
