The main concern with modafinil is obtaining a contaminated sample. This is very rare, especially because of the public backlash a vendor receives when they are found to be selling sub-par products. That being said, the most reliable way of sourcing modafinil is to purchase known brand-names (such as provigil/modalert (Modafinil), or nuvigil/waklert (Armodafinil).
- Check the packaging: Pills should come in foil blister packets; look out for spelling mistakes or blurry text. Use google images to see what the packaging should look like.
- Check the batch number: This can be done online, to check reports of adverse effects. Though rare, it has happened before. Some vendors and third-party groups also publish certificates of authenticity (CoA).
- Consider the origin: Modafinil from India is considered to be slightly more risky; differences in manufacturing procedures can lead to increased levels of harmful heavy metals in the pills.
It is also a good idea to figure what you want to do while on modafinil to avoid getting focused on the wrong thing.

Write a list of all the tasks you need to do and remove yourself from those potential distractions.
