For Fatigue "Modafinil has been the most expensive, the most overrated, and yet the most unusual medication I've ever taken. The first time, you're on cloud nine, and it made me so talkative. But later on, I became depressed for no reason, I became exhausted, and I didn't have any interest in doing anything at all. It releases dopamine and serotonin, but it increases the histamine level in your system, and after a couple of hours, it gave me too many side effects, both physical and emotional. It's not safe at all. If you take more than a certain amount, it will have paradoxical effects. The other times, it just gave me side effects and numbed all of my feelings and emotions."

For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome "Been taking this drug for about 2 years. First year, it helped and I stayed awake, more energy. Now I get sleepy about 3 hours after. My eyes get so tired, usually a headache, also pretty chatty. I was prescribed 200 mg, and I never took that much. I take a little less than half, which may be not enough? Great in the beginning, and now I am not sure what to do."

For Fatigue "I was hoping to feel more energetic, but I don’t. I use a CPAP, sleep well, and 2 hours after I wake up, I’m lethargic all day long."
