(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
It seemed to help somewhat, but got facial tics once my doctor upped my dose.
Working / Worked
Was falling and having trouble with large muscle fatigue. Within 30 days of taking this drug, now only have the fatigue during flares.
Working / Worked
It seems to work well enough for me to make it through a day. If I begin to wane or haven't taken it by noon, it is best to skip it or I won't be able to sleep.
Working / Worked
It may not be that the Provigil is not working. as much as my symptoms seem to have gotten 100x worse since I began taking it over a year ago.
Seemed to cause anxiety.
Working / Worked
did not work just made me sick
Working / Worked
Only started taking Provigil 3 weeks ago. Suffered headaches. Although I am managing to stay awake during day time for up to 3 days at a time I still feel tired. Every 4th day I feel like I cant function...my head feels fuzzy, I cant think and mix my words up, I forget to do simple tasks and I just have to sleep...not very good when I have a 4 year old child running around.
Working / Worked
Works but hate the side effects - headaches, lowers mood, appetite suppresant. But it works to keep me functional.
Working / Worked
I am 41 years old is the first time the real symptoms appear. Provigil redue some episodes but some times I still feel the desire for sleep.
Working / Worked
