Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hello i am a chronic halitosis sufferer for 5 years now and finally found the caused. My halitosis almost disappear by 75-90% when i am lying down facing left or right but facing the ceiling got worse because i can feel shortness of breathing with gag reflex at the lower part of my throat. I can handle the acid by lying down but i am not gonna lie down forever just to minimize the odor. I want my stomach to feel like i am lying down when i am not so i can walk anywhere halitosis free.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Hi I have had GERD for a few years now. I've never had halitosis. Recently my reflux started acting up, so i doubled my prevacid. I'm not sure what is causing my very horrid halitosis. I have figured out it is not dental related. In fact when I burp, I can feel the hot yucky gas coming up from my stomach. A recent google showed that prevacid can cause a side effect of halitosis. Other comments insist it is the GERD but I am not entirely convinced.
Avatar f tn The intubation could have resulted in a throat and mouth infection and hence the consequent halitosis. You need to consult a doctor for proper assessment. In the meantime you can try warm salt water gargles and betadine mouthwashes. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I thought that would have fixed my halitosis but it did not. I have used all kinds of different mouthwashes and toothpastes and dental flosses. I have to use non-alcholic mouthwashes because listerine dries out my mouth and I have even rinsed out with water after using listerine so my mouth does not dry out. I have been suffering from my halitosis for many years and I can not figure out why? My next step is to go to the ENT doctor. Any suggestions or recommendations?
Avatar f tn Over the years I have gone to several different dentists for help with halitosis. I have always gone for two teeth cleanings a year and have brushed, flossed and rinsed twice a day. I have searched the internet and asked the dentists for recommendations. I've tryed Therabreath, Closystem, profresh and baking soda/peroxide. They seem to all work for a while and then do not. Profresh has probably worked the best, but not for long.
Avatar n tn I have severe gastric problem. I always burp.This halitosis problem is killing me. I am dying everyday. People doesnt like to talk to me, if this continues for some more time, i might go into depression. Could someone please help me.
7126533 tn?1388405470 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?
Avatar n tn 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....
Avatar m tn It typically takes about 2 appointments to eliminate a person's halitosis condition. At the completion of treatment we may recommend a preventive maintenance program that will prevent the reoccurrence of your halitosis. Recommendations are based on each individual’s breath problem and their specific causes of their breath condition. If the program is correctly followed your breath problem will not return.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn I have been suffering with chronic halitosis for 13 years now. Its been a nightmare and just when I thought things could not get worse..they did. I now also have a terrible smell coming from my nose every time I exhale. I have seen a doctors who say they can't smell anything but my family members have told me that they can. ENT doctor said there is no infection in my nose and he thinks it could be coming from my stomach. He suspects its helicrobater pylori.
1325032 tn?1274798006 Never heard that as a symptom of oral gonorrhea. I am sure it is possible because anything is possible but never read anything that said that.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn If you google halitosis(malodered breath), youwould be able to get detailed information.However, Halitosis is generally brought about by the substance known as Volatile Sulfide Compound, which is produced by oral bacteria.Cavities and periodontitis account for the bacterial source inmost cases. The material of crown is generally not associated with bacterial accumulation. The surface smoothness and contour of crown do have influence on bacterial retention.
Avatar n tn Most halitosis result from dental caries or periodontal disease. Seeing a dentist is advised.
5509293 tn?1428531475 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?
Avatar m tn 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.

5160872 tn?1385248794 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.
Avatar m tn If you are on certain medications it can dry you mouth out causing the halitosis. You could have tooth decay as that will cause bad breath. When you are brushing your test make sure you gently brush your tongue this will help with removibg food particles left in your moth and germs in general. Also gently brush along to roof of your mout. Make sure you are regularly flossing as it could be as simple as food is wedged in your back teeth causing a bad smell.
