Sketch article + sketch pharma company who pays the best agencies to advertise amphetamines with wide uses. This post needs to go.

They got nearly all of their patients to convert to Nuvigil from Provigil after it went off patent; not sure why they're trying to generate interest in their old meds again. Maybe they're the most available maker.

Just to be clear: the drug in question (Modafinil) is not an amphetamine, and has very different effects than amphetamines even though they are used for the same reasons (enhancing focus when tired).
