Modafinil is a prescription drug, so he would have to see a doctor first, right?

Thanks, but it gets worse. I can't order anything online, because I need to see my bank about checks or debit cards first. I can imagine asking a friend to do it for me, though it's terrifying; I could probably do it on a good day. Also, I doubt the thing modafinil boosts is the same thing I lack, but it could help, if only through placebo effect.
