I'm pretty experienced in other strong psychedelics (Mescaline, LSD, DMT etc.), and took Modafinil to experience its effect out of curiosity, taking point of view of subtle trip, paying a lot attention to nuances in consciousness-altering effects. I was able to work a regular job (in computer science) through all the experience as it was focus-enhancing although sometimes it was somewhat overwhelming (I took 400mg).
This was my first time on Modafinil, and a half hour after first 200mg pill, and starting to feel the mind altering effects, I took another 200mg to get a deeper experience.
An hour into the trip I had color enhancements, and general high focus - my brain was working on X4-X8 speedup. For example when people were speaking it felt like slow motion, due to intense brain functioning. Also the visual enhancement was very mildly psychedelic, looking at trees and flower somewhat reminding me of the beginning or ends of shrooms, without any visual distortions. Music was also enhanced, specifically high-speed psychedelic trance music.
After 2-3 hours into the experience my focus started to split in a pretty pleasant way. I felt like I can focus on a few things simultaneously (at least it felt like my brain that is usually 'single CPU' became multi-core CPU seeking for few simultaneous external stimulus).
I played a video game and the performance wasn't really enhanced but all the negative feeling weren't there. It was very pleasant socially with some extroversion boost, and the emotional irritation was replaced with laugh and generally irritation wasn't really felt.
There was also 'Zombie effect' - i.e. when nothing usually annoying didn't disturbed me at all. I ate some pretty bitter salad and the bitterness didn't really bother me, also the noise from outside (like alarms and motorcycles) which usually makes me a bit irritated - didn't bothered me at all. I was enjoying doing work and feeling calm and 'centered' in the tasks. I was enjoying doing work and feeling calm and 'centered' in the tasks.
