Modafinil adderall
Common Questions and Answers about Modafinil adderall
provigil
I was on amantidine, modafinil, fampriya(which is usually for walking but has shown to help some people with fatigue), aand finally ritalin. It has taken about two years to get to this point.
I am currently being treated for CFS with a medication called Modafinil. It’s the one medication that’s a stimulant, that’s not in the same class as Adderall or Ritalin with a very low abuse potential. It helps out a lot, but I feel while it is helping it does damage as well considering you get used to the medication and the CFS is 100 times worse then when it started.
My question is this : What medical procedures are done to rule out it being an underlying medical condition ?
m seeing another sleep specialist this week. Has anyone taken adderall and been able to sleep? Please someone help me. I will take anyone's advice. I want my life back. I have to go back to work. Please I will try anything. I'm desperate not sure how I'm going to pay rent. Feel horrible.
Rondi..I am in a similar situation such as yourself. I had been on Provigil for approximately a year and it helped me tremendously. I was able to look for employment again, seek out options for going bk to school, and I had much less social anxiety with friends, family, and the public. I also went on a much needed weight loss program and had lost 17 lbs. Then my insurance denied coverage and we are working on an appeal.
It is working. The next step would be modafinil but I was told that many of their patients use Ritalin or adderall. Both are addictive so they start with the ones with least side effects first. So far amantadine has been helping get me through my day without crashing. Might be worth asking about it.
Try tapering the Xanax then go with a stimulant to help with daily energy (something like Adderall if you want amphetamines and Modafinil if you don't want amphetamines and less side-effects).
Managing a healthy diet rich in complex carbohydrates rather than simple sugar, rich in Omega-3, vegetables and fruits can also help.
Do you feel like the Adderall works better? We could stop the Sunosi and have you do the Adderall three times a day. 90mg is typically the max we try to keep the dosing around for Adderall, but accomodations can be made.
I'm suspicious if some of the symptoms you are experiencing during the day is related to Cataplexy? This is typically associated with some form of muscle weakness. Not sure if you notice any of those symptoms at all?
m not sure why a doctor would prescribe Valium to someone with narcolepsy - stimulants like Adderall can often leave someone feeling strung out, burnt out, and even more tired in the long run... versus something like Provigil (aka modafinil) which is non-narcotic and promotes awareness and wakefulness.
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 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!
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.
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.
Yes.. that medication is extremely addictive. It is basically a leagal speed that doc's are handing out way to freely. I went to my regular doc and asked for it, she asked me a couple of questions and then just gave me the prescription. I was WAY too EASY! I became addicted and the ONLY reason I was able to stop is because I found out I was pregnant. Stopping the pain medication wasn't as easy because it's supposedly not bad for the baby. But the adderall has to be bad I'm sure.
On top of this, I have been recently taking a pill that works like an adderall during testing weeks. It is called modafinil (provigil). I have done so much research on this pill and there's not much results on it being harmful but it also hasn't been around for too long. I only limit myself to one of those pills a week if it is even needed. It increases my chances of feeling anxious (a side effect) but does wonders for my OCD.
