Provigil (modafinil): This is a wonderful medicine. Costly, but great. However, I have found that it is best to take it an hour before eating or if need be an hour AFTER eating. This medication changed my quality of life. Future downfall....if I decide to have kids. Then what? Consider this if you are thinking about having kids.

Provigil (modafinil): 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): Only side effect for Provigil was a headache for the first week. Much more effective medication, better result and fewer side effects.

Provigil (modafinil): Works great for my Narcolepsy; the only complaint I have is that the price is prohibitive. It is the only medication that has worked effectively for my condition and with dramatic results.

modafinil: Great medication for narcolepsy. I would recommend it to anyone.
No side effects, and most importantly, I have no problem falling asleep at night when I should be sleeping.

Provigil (modafinil): 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: 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.
