Armodafinil for Shift Work Sleep Disorder "Been taking Adderall to get me through my long days and just did not like the crash and pounding headache to follow. It also seemed no two days were ever the same, one day just lots of energy and no headache the next day just really tired, jittery, and massive headache. My doctor put me on Nuvigil 250 mg, I always start lower than he wants so I started at 150 mg in the morning to ease into it. I planned a couple of low-key days at home to get my body used to it, and my brain could focus on work and not the drug. About the third day, I got off early to stop by Kroger to grab food for dinner that night. Got back to my truck and had to literally sit there for hours, I could not even get the truck into gear. My mind had checked out, I knew what I was doing, but I was not going to do it. The act of driving scared the crap out of me. I called my sister and spoke with her for several hours, drank lots of water, I finally got my courage up to try and make my way back home. I was so jittery, paranoid to the bone."

Armodafinil for Depression "Nuvigil worked the first day and did nothing thereafter. I was using it to alleviate the sleepiness and lethargy from Zoloft."

Armodafinil for Depression "Nuvigil makes me feel dizzy, tired, and lazy. Nuvigil does dull my appetite to the point of being forgetful, for me, I will go back to Provigil."

Armodafinil for Narcolepsy "Took Nuvigil for possible narcolepsy, and it made the fatigue much worse. Felt like I went from tired to flat exhausted and nearly impossible to focus."
