(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.

Came off dexamphetamine in 1998 to take 400mg of Modafinil a day. Recently had dosage up'd to 800mg a day as was not working as well. Get really bad headaches which last days and make my face swell. Also get a bad back ache which occurs every morning wears off a bit after taking meds.

Working well. I'm taking 400mg in morning and able to stay awake until about 5pm when I need a 15 minute nap to get going again.

Worked well but insurance giving me a hard time. Trying to get it covered through my doctor need special reason because it is so expensive they dont want to cover it.
Working / Worked
It works well. Transforming effect. But side effect is exacerbation of headaches/migraines which also chronic problem. Doctors now treating migraine think I should cease to take modafinil. But without modafinil have no life - More of an existence.
