Provigil (modafinil) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: I took the first pill this morning. This is the first time in years that I didn't fall asleep in church! I can't wait to go to school Monday morning to see if I get sleepy and doze off in class. Provigil could be one of the best things that ever happened to me!

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: Provigil has worked well at treating my Narcolepsy. I had to stop taking it when I was pregnant and resumed taking it after my daughter's birth. If you choose to take Provigil and have children, you need to be driven around for the duration of your pregnancy and up until you are back on the medication.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I was diagnosed with narcolepsy in 1998. I have been on Cylert, amitriptyline, Ritalin, ambien, and now Provigil. The Provigil is a life saver. I did lose weight on it at first, but have leveled off and have not lost any weight since then. I have taken Provigil for 2 years now. It is not an "upper" and does not make me feel drugged. I take 200 mg in the morning. It does not wake me up, it helps me maintain the wakefulness that I need to get through the day. Without Provigil, I would not have a normal life. I am thankful to have found this drug. I would, however, like a generic to it that would help to offset the exorbitant cost of the drug.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, for that I got a CPAP. But I also had trouble with zombie episodes and uncontrollable sleepiness (at work, while driving, very scary). I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy several years ago (not formally tested though). I have all the symptoms (night terrors, sleep paralysis.), but I have not been tested for it. Anyway, my Sleep Doctor put me on it primarily because of several driving issues. It seems to work well, I have not dozed off or had a zombie episode since I have been on it. I still feel tired, and I can sleep if I want to, so I feel a little more in control. I also don't feel like a speed freak, like Adderal. I am on 200 mg in the morning for the past 2 weeks. So far I am pleased with it.

Provigil (modafinil) for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: After months of absolutely debilitating fatigue and an awful quality of life, I finally found something that makes me feel like I am alive. I would experience such extreme tiredness during the day until it was affecting every aspect of my life. I work 8-5 Mon-Fri. and would go to sleep at night and still wake up feeling awful. I actually felt like I had been 10 rounds in a heavyweight fight every day! I would spend all day in an absolute fog and by the time I would make it in from work I would be yawning so much until tears would be pouring down my face. I was bone weary tired! I have the good fortune to have an excellent family doctor who helped me feel alive again. 100 mg a day. I have my life back!

Provigil (modafinil) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: This is my second day on Provigil 200mg once a day and was hoping for a dramatic change but there was none. I have sleep apnea and CPAP was not enough. Passed out at work and not safe to drive. I can say I am a little more clear and not in sleepy fog. Hoping that it will get better or up my dose

Provigil (modafinil) for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: I take this pill only as needed because of the price, so I take it if I have an appointment or have to be somewhere on time or before 4 pm. I am a zombie if I don't. I just can't understand why it costs so much. Do they honestly think people can afford to pay this price?

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: Provigil made me lose my appetite at first, I lost about 20 pounds. The energy was great for a few months but it lost it's effectiveness. It only took me four months to reach the maximum dose.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: For several years, I have been on Provigil, with a small dosage of Ritalin as a supplement. The Provigil was not enough for me, but it was much better than being on Ritalin alone. Ritalin had a tendency to make me anxious and talk constantly. Life is good now as a narcoleptic.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I was recently diagnosed with narcolepsy and started on Provigil. I started with 100 mg in the morning and then 100 or 150 mg in the afternoon. The first few days I was a little dizzy at first, a little nauseous, lost my appetite, had a mild headache every night (ibuprofen took care of that), and tense jaw/neck muscles. It was working great, but once I started classes (i.e., inactivity), I was falling asleep sometimes before my noon dose, and everyday around 6pm or 8pm. So, my doctor upped it to 200 in the morning and 200 after noon. For all 3 days of it, I was awake, only crashing around 8pm, but I was having problems with my memory and concentration. Just switched to Ritalin.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy about 2 weeks ago. For 2 months I had been nodding off at work and at home, it got really bad when I nodded off while at a stoplight driving and when I got "written" up for sleeping at work. I was given Provigil to help me out which when I started taking it, it was like a miracle drug. I felt alert and not drowsy all the time. After 5 days I started feeling nauseous and then 2 days later out of the blue it stopped working. My Doctor put me on Ritalin but I'm still having problems later in the day, on my way to see a sleep specialist.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I was given Provigil for my narcolepsy, with dosage of 200mg/3 times daily. For the first 3 days it was amazing I had forgotten what it felt like to be 'awake'. Unfortunately, after just 3 days it was not effective at all. My neurologist nodded knowingly when I told him. He said that's how long it takes to metabolize. Apparently that's when you can tell if it will work for you or not. I'm now on Aderall, 20 mg/3 daily and it is working much better for me.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I started taking Provigil about a year ago when it was suspected I had narcolepsy. I was tested and found it was Idiotic Hypersomnia (lack of melatonin) they call it Idiotic because they don't know what causes it. Provigil works one day for me then not the next. You can only take 200mg max per day. I went off it and on Ritalin. I am awake without any ill effects. I have recently been tested again for narcolepsy and was found that I am narcoleptic. The test given last year was done incorrectly (without my C-pap), it was supposed to be done WITH it on during my sleep study. All is good now.

Provigil (modafinil) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: My first 30 days on Provigil (200mg x 2 daily) were literally a life changing event. I have never felt so energetic, awake, and constantly in a good mood in my life. However, after 30 days the effects started to wane and, after 90 days, I feel little benefit. I tried taking an additional 3rd supplemental dose of 100mg a couple of hours after my second daily dose of 200mg to see if the good results might return, but all I gained from the additional 100mg was a headache. There is a definite and very unfortunate tolerance problem with Provigil in my experience.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I took Provigil for 6 months with varying doses (100-300mg/day). It only took about 20-30 minutes to kick in and lasted roughly 7 hours. It gave me an incredibly high level of alertness. I also have mild cataplexy and sleep paralyzation, and it seemed to help keep both of these under control. However, it also gave me very bad nausea and an even worse headache. When the medicine wore off, my body reacted by immediately having a strong "sleep attack". If I didn't take my next dose before the first had worn off, the second didn't seem to work. Also, my urine smelled strange and the smell got even stronger when I drank more water. This stopped as soon as I changed my medication to Adderall.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: This is the first prescription I have taken for Narcolepsy. It has been 3-years now while taking 200mg's 3x a day. It turns out that naps are going to be a part of life. More particularly for the peak periods just to get over that tough time during the day. I would highly recommend letting your employer know about this condition. Narcolepsy is a handicap, of which you are protected. In other words, if you are caught sleeping on the job, they can not fire you for it. They need to make considerations for this condition and develop a work schedule that allows you ability to work a full shift. Provigil has worked well for me. I wouldn't want to go back to the way it used to be.

Provigil (modafinil) for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: I take 400mg/day for fatigue and mental fog. It helped a great deal although after 3 years it doesn't work as well as in the beginning. I started taking 200mg/day and it didn't help until I took it for 3 months. Increased to 300mg/day after 1 year and to 400mg/day after 2nd year.

Provigil (modafinil) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: I've been using Provigil in combination with Wellbutrin for my adult ADD. I'm almost 50 and was just diagnosed 3 years ago. I tried the stimulants and like the way they helped my concentration and focus but I couldn't take them because of my high blood pressure. I've also tried Strattera which worked really well but again I couldn't deal with the side effects (not being able to urinate can be painful). Provigil really helps slow down my racing thoughts but it doesn't seem to help with my concentration or distract ability. I take it first thing in the morning and usually can't get to sleep until midnight or 1.00am. Luckily I work at home so that's not a real problem. I'm glad to see it's worked well for some of the others who have posted comments.

Provigil (modafinil) for Depression: This turned me from a deep, suicidal depression into a happy, productive person in 2 days. I am also able to sleep without any sleep medicines (first time in years). My problem is that my insurance refuses to pay for it because using Provigil for depression/bipolar is off-label, and it is so expensive that I'm just starting to wean myself off of it, sadly. There is another drug, Nuvigil that is supposed to be even better, and is currently being tested (very positive results so far) for FDA approval in the use of it for depression and bipolar. It's been a long road for me, so I can only pray that the FDA moves quickly on this.

modafinil for Narcolepsy: This is the first and only drug I've ever taken for narcolepsy and my standard of life, work, etc. has improved incredibly since then. I do get the side effects (dry eyes, dry mouth, crawling skin, headaches, tummy problems and ironically enough: sometimes tiredness too) but these are subsets of one main side effect - massive dehydration. So I just drink lots of water and am mindful of it. Once you get over the main onset headache (which admittedly took me a few weeks), the benefits far out way the cons. I'm lucky with the costs as I live in the UK so 6 boxes x 30 tabs(200mg) only costs the price of a prescription (about

Provigil (modafinil) for Depression: This is a WONDER DRUG in the use of depression. I have suffered for years with depression and never with any relief from the mainstream anti-depressants. Either the side effects were intolerable, or the medicine just didn't work. Within 3 days of taking Provigil, I was the happiest, most productive I had been in a year. The first 2 days I was still really sleepy, and the 3rd day, a little hyper, but after that day I have felt EXCELLENT. I don't have anxiety attacks anymore and I get a full night of "good" sleep and wake up feeling extremely refreshed and I am happy again. I was on my couch for a straight 6 months sleeping and crying until I started this medicine. It literally saved my life.

modafinil for Depression: I use several antidepressants, and I cannot function without them. Modafinil helped with my chronic fatigue, but it's not an antidepressant in my opinion. I can do a lot of things now. I'm so glad I heard about it. I take 200mg a day.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: My fatigue from Multiple Sclerosis had gotten to the point that I could not function at work for a full day. I was only able to work for about 3 hours and I was having to stop because I was just so exhausted. I came home and went to bed. I couldn't clean my house or take care of my grand children. I have 2 grandchildren (ages 5 and 1) at the time I was diagnosed and it was really painful to me not to be able to play with them and care for them. My doctor prescribed Provigil at 100 mg once daily and it helped a little. He then changed it to 200 mg twice daily and it was like I was a new person. I can now work a full day and I keep my grandchildren on Friday nights and I can come home after work and do whatever I need to. Provigil has actually given me my life back.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: The first one I tried and it was not good for me.
The constant headaches, dry mouth (very bad at night time), made me have very real like/scary nightmares, and after 2 days did not even change my energy level/random sleep attacks. Still had to have a nap to make it through the day.

Provigil (modafinil) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: I am 42 years old and have suffered panic disorder since I was 17 years old. Have racing thoughts, mind won't slow down enough to accomplish a task. Since taking Provigil I have moved forward and been able to complete and follow through on projects and not get frustrated and anxious. Have had no side effects, nor have I experienced a come off effect. I'm stable as she goes all day long. It has not effected my sleep either.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: Provigil works great for me, at 200 mg once in the morning. I usually feel dull-witted and fatigued, but I don't suddenly "switch off". After about a week of steady doses, however, I often develop a bad headache and have to quit taking the stuff for a few days. Maybe that's a good thing, if it keeps me from getting habituated. Ritalin did nothing except make my hands shake.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I have been on 2 x 200 a day for 10 months now, and it has not been the miracle drug for narcolepsy that some people talk about. I have given it a lot of time, but still have excessive daytime sleepiness. Works better for others I suppose. Also, does anyone else notice that it makes your urine smell weird?

Provigil (modafinil) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: I've been on Provigil for 2 years now for ADD like symptoms caused by a brain injury. After 14 years of not being able to keep my thoughts together enough to hold a job, I can now connect the dots and have been working full time for a year and a half. I do not take Provigil to make me smarter or give me an edge. I just want to be able to balance my check book and hold a job. I no longer have insurance to help with the cost, so I have been trying to make what I have left last as long as possible. Lately I've been having trouble organizing my thoughts and being able to finish the simplest of chores. Looking back, it is amazing how much this drug helps me to live a normal life.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: Provigil helps my Multiple Sclerosis fatigue, but my drug insurance company won't okay it because it's an "off-label" use. My psychiatrist was actually the first doctor to prescribe it, which is also off-label use. It doesn't give me great energy, but at least I don't sleep all day. With depression AND MS I have a double whammy. I definitely know the difference when I don't have it.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: I take Provigil about 5 times a week. I have been on it since 12/06. I have to take "vacations" from it in order for it to work like it should. When I start it again, I get massive headaches but is worth it for the energy. My MS fatigue is so bad most of the time that I really need this medication. I do get headaches, nervousness, anxiety, and stomach issues while taking this pill. But all I do without taking it, is sleep.

Provigil (modafinil) for Shift Work Sleep Disorder: I was feeling extremely tired and unmotivated after a short time since beginning night shift (emergency worker) duty. My doctor prescribed Provigil. I had never even heard of it before. This is what I need. I am wide awake when I need to be, either day or night and I can still catch a cat nap on duty, and I don't have trouble sleeping in the daytime anymore. I know many people on provigil in emergency services. Almost all of us work nights or rotating shifts. I can't say I have heard of any ill side effects other than dehydration and headache. Drank more water and it all went away.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy when I was 17 and still in high school. That was about 14 years ago. Out of those 14 years, ten of them have been spent on Provigil. It has obviously worked for me. I take 200mg 3 x a day - One in the morning and two at lunchtime. I haven't had any side effects, other than not being ready for bed at night but that could be me just not wanting to go to bed. All in all Provigil keeps me awake and functioning. Oh, I do agree with everyone about the cost - it's not cheap.

Provigil (modafinil) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: I have Sleep Apnea and use CPAP but unfortunately the CPAP doesn't completely resolve the exhaustion. I take 200mg Provigil once a day and it has given me my life back. I was in danger of losing my job because the exhaustion caused me not to be able to focus or produce. Once on the Provigil, my boss says he has been blown away by my performance. No side effects whatsoever.

Provigil (modafinil) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: I really love Provigil. I used it for ADD. Provigil helped me stay focused and motivated. The only side effect was if I took it to late in the day I might have a little trouble getting to sleep. It makes sense because it is a stimulant. It is a great drug for ADD because it doesn't cause all those nasty side effects other ADD drugs have. Unfortunately I have to stop using it because insurance won't cover Provigil because it has not been approved to be used as an ADD drug. Completely disappointing. It truly is an amazing drug for ADD.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I have used Provigil for about 4 years now and I really like it. I feel completely normal when I take it. In fact the only time I notice the drug is when I forget to take it. However, it is costly but I did find a substantial discount in my insurance's mail order program. Also, for someone who asked earlier, I stopped taking Progivil as soon as I found out I was pregnant. There is too little known yet and my kid was not going to be the Gineau Pig. Surprisingly, something changed because of being pregnant and I did surprisingly well for thoes 8 months. I just made sure to take regular naps.

Provigil (modafinil) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: I feel that 200 mg is probably best for me but makes me overly "chatty" and nonproductive in that manner, and my heart races. 100 mg does help me feel more awake in the morning but wears off very quickly. I still need a nap when I get home from work.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: Compared to ritalin, which I was taking before this drug, this produced a much more alert and natural awake feeling. Unfortunately for me it also made me practically psychotic and in a moment of thoughtfulness I thought this must be how people feel when they talk about "snapping". I could not control my emotions. I went back to my doctor and promptly switched off the medication. Too bad the side effects were over the top as the alertness was amazing. I took the drug for less than two weeks.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: I tried Provigil 2 years ago but I got the jitters. The fatigue has become so bad in the last 6 months that I decided to try it again. This time I had success. At first I only took it when I needed it, but finally I gave up having so many nonfunctional days that I started taking it everyday - I take just 100mg. My days are much more fulfilling. I have to actually remind myself NOT to overdo or I'll still get wiped out. It's so good to feel like I can do things again.

modafinil for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: Provigil has saved my life, as the saying goes. I am taking 300 mg and 100 mg six hours later.
Despite my use of a CPAP and caffeine I still suffer from chronic fatigue and the Provigil has helped me to maintain some semblance of a normal existence. There are no apparent side effects and the result is to make me feel and act normal versus the side effects of other stimulants such as caffeine.

I am currently taking the 100 mg dose.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: I too have MS and have been taking this drug since it came out - about 6 years. Because Provigil is not an amphetamine it doesn't make you "high", you just feel like you have energy. Provigil does not interfere with your normal sleeping pattern, if you take it in the morning. I feel like my old self when I take it. I also know now when I do not take it (I'm on 200mg). I can feel the difference, what I thought was depression was actually a lack of energy.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: I was prescribed this medication to deal with the overwhelming fatigue that sometimes hits with Multiple Sclerosis. I am working full time, and cannot afford to be overly sleepy. I am very impressed with how it works. It stimulates me mentally, without creating the "hyper" physicality of a general stimulant like caffiene. I am able to take the medication on a when required basis - not more than 200 mg in a day - and it works great. Many days I do not take it at all. It has a long half-life, however.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I experienced much greater effects from Provigil on initial exposure than I have during regular, ongoing treatment. Had the initial effects (perfect alertness without excessive excitability) continued it would merit a rating of 10. However, I still find it indispensable and would be hard-pressed to give up that particular prescription.

modafinil for Narcolepsy: I've been taking Modafinil for close to 3 years now. I've had narcolepsy for as long as I remember and I've always suffered from excessive sleepiness. This is the only medicine that has helped. There are different brands, manufacturers, etc. so just be careful about where you purchase from. Honestly I do not have insurance so I buy from an online pharmacy - otherwise it would be too costly. It has changed my life, although sometimes it feels less effective. Overall it has really helped me.
