Order modafinil online. Take it, using ‘count backwards then swallow the pill’ if necessary. Then, use the temporary boost in mental energy to call a shrink.
Ok, I didn’t know that scoring illegal prescription drugs online was so easy. Isn’t it risky? I know people have been busted for this the USA, though it may be easier in France.
I will not go into detail on what I understand to be the pragmatic considerations here, since the lesswrong morality encourages a more conservative approach to choosing what to do.
The life-extentionists over at imminst.org tend to be experienced in acquiring whatever they happen to need to meet their health and cognitive enhancement goals. They tend to give a fairly unbiased reports on the best way to go about getting what you need, accounting for legal risks, product quality risks, price and convenience.
I do note that when I want something that is restricted I usually just go tell a doctor that “I have run out” and get them to print me ‘another’ prescription.

I’m curious why you say this. I don’t get the impression that more than a tiny number of people here would have moral or even ethical qualms about ordering drugs online, though I would non-confidently expect us to overestimate the risk on average.
In the USA it’s no problem to order unscheduled prescription drugs over the internet. Schedule IV drugs can be imported, but customs occasionally seizes them with no penalty for the importer. No company that takes credit cards will ship Schedule II or Schedule III drugs to the USA; at least not one that will be in business for more than a month or two.
I believe it’s all easier in Europe but I don’t know for sure. PM for more info.
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.

I have found this useful at times.
Modafinil is a prescription drug, so he would have to see a doctor first, right?
Yes, full compliance with laws and schedules, even ones that are trivial to ignore, is something I publicly advocate.

And for completeness, I should note that Modafinil is a Schedule IV drug in the US.
Also, downloading music & movies is usually a copyright violation, frequently both civil & criminal.

Terrifying? That’s troubling. A shrink can definitely help you!
It may boost everything just enough to get you over the line.
Good luck getting something done. I hope something works for you. Do whatever it takes.
Adrafinil is similar to modafinil, only it’s much cheaper because its patent has expired.
