Does it make you smarter or increase your performance? "Its cheating" or "they experimented on cats" isn't a good reason not to do it for me.
A reason not to do it for me would be if it had something like a stimulant effect on the brain that pushed it to fatigue faster like coffee. I have found that the performance I gain from drinking coffee at first, I lose later in the day. Its like I only have so much "brain juice" and I can use it faster if I want but it will run out faster and ultimately end up getting less done oftentimes.
Is Modafinil like that? Or does it increase performance all day? I really like cats but I don't see how taking that drug will undo any harm done to them in the past. And I never believe anything about a lack of withdrawal anyway.
