modafinil and drug test

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.

This can maybe only happen in heavy doses (above 350mg) because the drug is a weak D2 agonist and re uptake inhibitor and using at heavy doses has to many side effects and let to mention its very expensive to abuse this drug. Some experience anti depressant effects when they take there first few doses- but it goes away and never comes back. Its not labeled as a stimulant - but father a wakefulness promoting agent. And truly bad withdraw only appears with chronic high doses.

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.

this is the most amazing and addictive drug i have ever done and in my eyes if i did not realize that i had a problem with prescription meds i would have been a very serious pravigil user. It is like speed and it was givin to someone i new for her sleep apnea my advice to any addict is stay far far away to addicting bad bad bad for someone who really does have a problem with staying awake during the day than maybe but for someone who is abusing it stop ;now before you go any farther.

''None of these meds does the same thing to all people.'' as Paxiled mentioned is the statement you must remember. Using amphetamines is not something I would suggest to anyone who is looking for a long-term solution. See, amphetamines are widely abused and have devastating side effects.

I as well was denied alertec and they chenaged to Modafinil bc it is cheaper and needs to be tried first (the are the same.. Just cheaper) My neuro still had to send in authorization papers to have coverage approved. It was no problem for ms related fatigue. I did try amantadine first which did not help so that could have been helpful in having the Modafinil covered. Hope it goes though for you!! It is great for me!!

s office to see if there was anything I could take and it was either Modafinil or Amantadine and another specialist had told me that Modafinil was the one that worked best so I am leaving fatigue alone for now.

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.

I just read where another user asked this same questions so I hope I'm not breaking rules here by being redundant. But I'm planning to try using modafinil to help deal with opiate PAWS related symptoms of fatigue/depresssion/lethargy, and just the general funkiness that we feel when we stop taking opiates after years of abuse.I'm very curious how this will work in the long term. I stopped taking percocets (about 250-500mg daily!

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!

I find it funny that you bring that up because I am also on Modafinil and Cymbalta. Try to get rid of the Seroquel and trazadone when you can and go for the Cymbalta and Provigil. Think about adding a good vitamin B complex to help with energy and you metabolism and what it can do for your brain and mood.

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.

Raz is right. Modafinil is still classified as a non-narcotic schedule IV drug in the US. Non-prescription importation by individual citizens is prohibited. I know people in the US order drugs and cigarettes from outside the country to save money, get meds their insurance denies and avoid high taxes. I don't blame them a bit but doubt their sources are overly secure or long lived. I do wonder what the custom tag content list says is inside. The government sets the regulations.

As a direct result of your response, and primarily because of it, I give my word that within 7 days I will go to a doctor and ask for a blood test of liver function and coagulation numbers, though of course as I stated there are no apparent outward symptoms. I will post the results to you if I am still in communication. As I have asserted, I believe I can and will reduce the dose, it just means I can't be on it every day, but must have break periods.

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.

Hello there, Nootropic drugs like Piracetam or analeptic drug such as Modafinil could help you with this problem. A diet including Omega-3 is also to be considered.

My Neuro prescribed Modafinil to try and combat my fatigue, and I was wondering if anyone here has any exprience or comments about the usefulness and side effects of this drug. So far I filled the prescription but I haven't actually taken any yet. I would very much like to do away with the fatigue, but I am already taking a bunch of other drugs and am reluctant to add another to the mix. I'm also not sure what time of day I should take it.

I take a stimulant called modafinil which has been a lifesaver. I could fall asleep at the dinner table, leaning against a wall, and even once on the phone. Now I'm not speeded up or wired in any way, just able to control when and where I sleep.

Modafinil is a drug for narcolepsy prescribed for MS fatigue. I am interested in knowing if you have narcolepsy or MS fatigue. Recently I have been experiencing extreme fatigue for which my neuro prescribed amantadine. 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.

Over two years I have been on amantidine, modafinil and now ritalin 10 mg x 3 a day. I can stil sleep on the ritalin and am shocked by that. Obviously I had to try everything else first due to risk. My specialist said that usuallt when people legitimally need the medecicine they usually don't abuse it. I haven't found any problems with it.

s Thyroiditis together with Neurally Mediated Orthostatic Hypotension and finally Narcolepsy. 100mg Oroxine, and Modafinil. I am happy to lie down and sleep and would have relief in never waking up. Any suggestions would be great.

B12, iron, transfusion, etc and only after that consider Modafinil if the fatigue still hasn't improved.

I was very surprised and pleased when the new rx arrived in the mail - Provigil has now gone generic, and Modafinil (the generic name) was shipped instead of the name brand. The cost? A total of $20 for a 90 day supply. Maybe now that it is available in generic form all of our insurance companies will be less difficult to work with and get approved. We can only hope........

I have been fighting for twenty plus years to find out what was wrong - Called a hypochondriac by doctors and family. Told I have bipolar and - seriously - while I was laughing and joking around told that I was depressed and it was causing my symptoms. At that point I told dr. to give me shock therapy or a lobotomy then. I will do whatever it takes not to be this sick/pain/fatigued. I have/am suffered a cornucopia of symptoms. Fatigue being the worse of them all.
