modafinil and weed

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 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.

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.

My partner smokes everyday, I wouldn't say a lot tho. We have had two miscarriages so far and I'm now 5weeks pregnant again if the baby survives this time can his smoking affect the sperm and health of the baby even tho he doesn't smoke around me?

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.

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 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!!

Hi there. Modafinil or provigil is a central nervous system stimulant and much abused. This can produce euphoria, it can be abused for a high sensation particularly by students as stimulants for staying up all night for exams. There are certain common side effects associated with its use like headache, dizziness, difficulty in falling asleep, drowsiness, nausea, heartburn, confusion and burning, tingling and numbness of skin. There could be certain withdrawal symptoms associated with it.

All the information I have read strongly suggests that Modafinil seems to have a very toxicity, and what I am doing may very well not be causing me any damage, however I do appreciate that large, clinical studies of such doses have not been conducted. I also appreciate that I am no expert and I am trying to gain information to expand my perspective. I am potentially willing to reduce my dose, but not discontinue entirely.

Hi, welcome to the forum, modafinil mainly acts by decreasing GABA-mediated neurotransmission. GABA is known to suppress the general alertness and can cause induction of sleep. Modafinil increases high-frequency alpha waves while decreasing both delta and theta wave activity which shows generalized increase in alertness. Hence, Modafinil Improves wakefulness in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and shift work sleep disorder (SWSD).

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.

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.

My dr and even someone on this post told me that prozac is the most stimulating antideporessant,,,well i have been on it since march 3 at 20 mg then dr upped it on the 28th to 40 mg and im not noticing no stimulation....im still deprressed and scared noe im getting headaches,i take xanax to....and as i mentioned on another post he might add an anphentimine to my mixture..he is a pshy....is prozc just not had time to work or does it not energize all people?

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

as regards liver i have no idea, try to google oxidative stress and weed, if weed can increase oxidative stress it is definitely bad Is it as dangerous as alchohal? no, alcool can be much more dangerous than hbv itself even on those with no hbv.

I am 5 months pregnant and I feel like since I became pregnant that I crave weed more than I did not pregnant. I have no appetite unless i smoke. Is this a bad thing? Can marijuana harm my baby?

I was recently switched from Paroxetine to Fluoxetine. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. When on Paroxetine and I was tired ALL the time. I was literally falling asleep at my desk. It was hard to stay awake. I do have obstructive sleep apnea however I use a CPAP every night. According to the readout on the machine I usually stay between 2 and 4 events an hour.

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. They are aware foreign suppliers are offering prohibited products to US citizens.

The weed is a mild hallucinogen so the main thing it will do is intensify your psychosis a little. I used to smoke weed to deal with my schizoaffective/bipolar symptoms and it helped for a while. If you're taking the antipsychotics then you should cut WAY down on the weed. Your body has to fight through everything you put in it to keep you healthy and if it's trying to use the AP's to fix your mental issues, it'll be fighting through the THC to get to your brain.

t know if the medication with the weed is good or if it is making my condition worse in noticeably but as of right now I have had literally no problems with smoking while having svt and being ON medication. I have no idea if you will be ok smoking weed while having svt and being off medication.
