(also known as Modafinil, Allertec)

Modafinil is used to help people who have narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hyponea, or shift work sleep disorder to stay awake during the day. Modafinil does not cure these conditions and will only work as long as you continue to take it.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Working / Worked
I take provigil daily and it is highly effective in managing day time sleepiness.
Working / Worked
been working fairly well for a year and a half, just started nuvigil
Working / Worked
100 mg as needed. I think it helps. Not hugely but makes the fatigue workable.
Working / Worked
started with 100 mg and was starting to notice a difference until i had a menstral cycle and everything seemed to reverse back! my doctor has up my dosage to 200 mg as of yesterday so we will see....
Working / Worked
2 tablets daily--works extrenmely well--removes fatigue--without it I would not continue working or doing much else
Working / Worked
I need 400mg instead of the standard 200mg. Combined with Concerta (36mg), it's been wonderfully effective)
Working / Worked
Had to Discontinue due to the fact that Ins. company would refuse to cover expense. Cost too much to buy monthly.
Working / Worked
helps some days...some days no
