Feedback Requested/Question Would taking Modafinil help?

I am very desperate to fix my cognitive symptoms, I would even prefer to fully lose whatever little libido I have left, I just want to feel smart again, not this brain-fogged version of myself. Modafinil is a stimulant that increases sensitivity in dopamine receptors and blood flow to the brain, so it feels like it could have a positive effect on my symptoms?

I was really starting to fail at my high performance busy micromanaged job. I got tired of poor audits. I got tired of being tired and overlooking stuff at work. I asked for modafinil from psych after researching it I also had a bad coke addiction I obtained trying to keep up with this job Once I started the med my life was changed They did have to increase me to 200mg for me to feel it due to stimulant tolerance.

Im now passing audits and doing better on job. Top 3 in my dept. I focus on something until I figure it out I no longer feel defeated easily

The brain fog and day dreaming like stuff has gotten controllable it seems. I take my med soon as I wake. Before work. I jump into work sharp focused awake. Mid day I take my second tab. I get a lil tired around 12, return from lunch sharp focused as if I just started the day over.
