(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.

Provigil helped with my excessive sleepines, but it gave me terrible pressure headaces. I wound up in the ER @ 4AM one night with severe peripheral edema and hypertension - at 31y/o I have never had swelling nor have I ever had a high BP reading. Since I've ceased taking Provigil, I've been fine. I've never had an adverse reaction to a prescription - I'll never touch this stuff again! I'd rather be sleepy than puffy and feeling like my head was going to explode.

Provigil has helped me to stay awake during the daytime hours when I am at work, but I do feel exhausted afterwards if I don't keep myself active. I found it hard to stay awake after work when I was finally free to enjoy my personal time. Provigil finally allowed me to drive my car without being afraid of dozing off and causing an accident. The only problem is that I lost my job and my benefits, so now I'm not sure how I can afford $12 a day for the medication that I've come to depend on.

Working / Worked
Just started - it does help with fatigue but I am still mentally disorganized - we'll see.
Working / Worked
I felt like a meth addict. It did give me energy and what I thought at the time was great clarity.
Working / Worked
Taking for the fatigue. Seems to be working. And it doesn't string me out or hype me up.
Working / Worked
Only take it when I'm in a crying jag. Gets me out of depression - makes me feel like shopping-!
