modafinil tired

Well, that would definitely explain the crazy fatigue you are having. It would be nice to get the transfusion before your trip. I know Modafinil is used for Narcolepsy but they really want a sleep study to take it for MS? That seems unfair to slow the process down when it is such a common medication for MS and not just those with sleep disorders.

I am switching from Avonex to Tecifidera and from Modafinil to Symmetrel. How has these worked out for others? I am looking forward to not having the injections and being able to take pills instead.

I have been put on Modafinil for my sleeping issues and it makes my birth control less effective according to my neurologist and pharmacist. Is there any way I can find out how MUCH less? Am I even protected at all? I have been on the pill for 10 years and after hearing this, I immediately called my gynecologist to discuss other options. She told me that the oral pill would metabolize through the liver much faster on Modafinil and so she put me on the Nuvaring.

any advice or experiences that could help me understand would be really helpful please. My brother has started university to study architecture this year and due to the huge amount of nights he had to work, started going on modafinil. Now that the year is finished and he's not taking it however, he has become aggressive, irrational and rude. Does anyone know if this is because of the modafinil or if there's a link.

I'm 25 (male), all my life I've required about 13hrs sleep EVERY night (regardless of bed time). If i actually get the 13hr, i'm not tired the next day but understandably not always possible, for eg. if i “only” get 10hrs i will be VERY tired that day and also get a 'sleep debt' . Went to bed at 8pm last night and woke at 1pm today as i "only" slept 11hrs the night before.

I recently started taking Modafinil for fatigue and apart from the fatigue being much improved, the incontinence has also vastly improved - fingers crossed it has actually stopped. Is this coincidence or can the Modafinil have caused this?

Can anyone help, i am constantly tired no matter how much sleep i have, eyes sore etc no go in me, lack of intrest in most things, i can sleep 5 hours, watch tv for approx 2 hours then drop off again for perhaps another 5 or 6 hours, but stiil tired and lacking intrest when awaken !!!!!

I have been taking 100 grams of modafinil pills for about 2 weeks to get through exams and now that I have stopped taking anything, I am experiencing constant dizziness. I am wondering whether I should wait this out or whether I need to see a doctor asap....

Can you please tell me if taking 300mg Adrafinil (pre-cursor to Modafinil) once or twice a week, to help me study. will decrease the effectivenes of birth control pills? I'm taking Levlen 1.5/30mg I know that a long term Modafinil use makes birth control pills less effective but how about short term? PLEASE ADVISE, Thank you!

I could sleep now, but after typing this I have things I need to do. I take Modafinil 200 mg once a day and it helps most of the time (not yesterday or today). Is this normal? I work full time and am always on the go. I know there was a great quote about once energy is spent it is gone... I need the energy. I have three children 12 and under.... aggghhh sorry for the pitty party. I am SO tired.

I've just started taking modafinil, 100mg per day for a month then I can titrate to 200mg if needed. It will be needed! 100mg, to be honest, is making no difference whatsoever. Sometimes I literally have to look at my pill caddy to see if I've even taken it that day. Otherwise, I just OD on caffeine and go to bed at around 8. Hoping more people answer, because I could use a few ideas too!

Can anyone please tell me if adrafinil (pre-cursor to Modafinil) will affect taking birth-control pills? In other words, if I occasionally take adrafinil to help me study - will it make the pills ineffective. I certainly don't want to get pregnant. I know that long term use of Modafinil decreases the effectivenes of bc pills but how about short term use? Once or twice a week? Thank you!

Hi. I need some help figuring out how Modafinil works. I basically have something which seems like Insomnia but it isn't. I believe I suffer from Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. I have had it since I was 15, I am 25 now. The problem is that, I can't maintain a proper schedule. I can never sleep at a particular time everyday. It keeps moving as every day passes by. For example, right now I am sleeping at around 9 AM everyday and then I am getting up at around 5 PM.

Wondering out loud, here - hypothetically if I wanted to order modafinil (provigil's name) from Europe, since it does not require a rx there, how would I go about verifying that the place I ordered from would be legit? Just wondering.........

Nuvigil, alerted, modafinil, Provigil are the same -as far as I understand. I am paying more than you - I have high deductible insurance but took the hit because I needed a replacement for amantadine to help with fatigue. Thought I was ok until the amantadine worked its way out of my system and then I crashed. But new drug is giving me BP problems. Is anyone taking the drug with NO BP problems? How much can you take?

Not good. You definitely want to look for a specialist. Might want to scope out your throat to see if there are also problems down there. Under side effects for Nuvigil it says, "Skin and mouth sores, blistering, and ulceration have been reported with modafinil and NUVIGIL in the postmarketing setting. Recurrence of signs and symptoms of serious dermatologic reactions following rechallenge has been reported in some cases.

I used to be that way and the doctor says depression. You either sleep a lot or don't sleep at all. Both depression. Changed anything in your life recently?

Hi Cindy, I realize this might sound counterintuitive, but mild to moderate exercise is supposed to increase energy levels better than most drugs or supplements. It didn’t do much for me; before treatment, I was dragging butt, and I had a very active lifestyle as a carpenter. I remember having to take naps by eleven am some mornings, and I was far from sedentary those days. For what it’s worth, after I treated, I got most of my energy back; less the few years older I was when I was done :o).

Hi all, I currently take 100 mg of Modafinil every morning but was advised that I could take up to 400 mg per day. The doc who prescribed mentioned one tab in the am and one in the pm but I have heard from other people who take it that they find it better to take 200 mg in the am instead of splitting it into two doses. I tried the am and pm option today but am beyond exhausted. I would love to hear what anyone has found works best for them. Thanks!

I was feeling incredibly fatigued, slept 10-12+ hours per day and still couldn't get out of bed for about 2-3 weeks. Modafinil and amphetamines did nothing to my energy levels.

my son is 21 and is also bipolar with psychosis so he deals with the paranoia more. he takes abilify and modafinil (modafinil is like aderol with out the addictive reactions) it helps him stay more focused. don't know if this helps - but feel free to contact me if i can help any.

then she said the next step would be to take modafinil(alertec) to see if it maybe just improves my overall well being throughout the day and maybe feel worse at night. i went back to my family doctor with the results and he agreed the modafinil would be the next step, as well as taking some blood tests. i went on the modafinil for 2 months and still absolutely no change.

I have narcolepsy and am currently taking 60mg adderoll and 60mg valium/day to counteract the anxiety from the adderoll. I have been very tired and think I need to taper off my valium. I was thinking of tapering 5/mg every 10 days of the Valium down to 20-30/mg and see how I feel. Is this safe? I cannot talk to my doctor due to insurance problems.
