Armodafinil

I'm among the many struggling with extreme fatigue. Just got a prescription for 100mg of modafinil/day and after a week, if there is any change it has been for the worse. To those who have benefitted from this medicine, did it take more than a week to show improvement?

I am wondering if anyone has used natural supplements like amino acids to increase dopamine while tapering off Pramaprexole? I have wondered if it would help with the decrease in dopamine while tapering. Also has anyone used Modafinil with any luck in helping energy and mood?

I am nervous in posting this. Please Admins jump in and close / moderate if needed etc. I think modafinil has helped me get through low thyroid.

My doctor has prescribed Modafinil 100mg Tablets for my ADD, replacing my Adderal. Has anyone tried this? I assume she is changing it because of the intense fatigue I experience due to long haul COVID. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has used it or knows anything about it. Thank you!

I have recently received a diagnosis of Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I was a bit shocked as my consultant had previously told me I had an Atypical sleep disorder.

Hi all, first ever post so if it looks like I don't know what I'm doing, I don't... I have had sleep problems from a very young age. At school and as an adult, I was always being accused of being lazy and disinterested because at times, during the day, I needed to sleep. My symptoms are just about

Anyone have any luck changing medications while dependent on Adderall? If so, how did you do it and what if any supplements did you use? Even if it was just quitting altogether, that can be helpful too. I am not addicted, but I am definitely dependent on Adderall. Like many others. The chance to stop

While taking Neupro my sleep is very disrupted, only sleeping 2-4 hours at a time. And my schedule has shifted way ahead e.g) used to have 11pm bedtime, now lucky to get to sleep before 3am.

hi in the last year I’ve stopped the dreaded Pregalabin, Mirtazapine and reduced Diazepam from lots down to 20mg a day. Quite functional. The diazepam is quite effective but leaves me fuzzy headed, it never used to. I’ve been tempted to take Modafinal to perk me up on busy days. I know it’s not ideal

I've read a fair bit about positive tests relating to the use of Modafinil for the fatigue associated with MSA, which I have been diagnosed with. Does anyone have any experience of, or views on the use of Modafinil. G
