User Reviews for modafinil oral

I HAVE HAD M.S. FOR 30 YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN PROVIGIL FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. IT IS VERY AFFECTIVE. IT GIVES ME ENERGY AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A SIDE EFECT. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS SO EXPENSIVE. I WAS LOOKING FOR A GENERIC THAT WOULD BE CHEAPER. IS THER ONE?IS MODIFINIL THE ANSWER?

I was having to take naps almost daily, had no energy from not sleeping well. Provigil has changed everything. I am awake, alert without the jitters or the affects of caffine. I have been taking Provigil for over a year and have had no side effects. When I drive a long distance it keeps me alert but I have no problem getting to sleep.

I can function at work now without having to take naps on my lunch break. No more coffee and "NO-DOZ" to get me through the day. I can concentrate on my daily tasks and I feel like my life is becoming normal again. I actually have enough enrgy to exercise at the end of my day. It's changed my life completely.

The medication has been a definite plus in countering the side effect of daytime fatigue resulting from my apnea as well as the fentanyl transdermal patches I wear continually to combat pain. Modafinil allows me to feel normally awake and alert during the day without adding to to my sleeping dificulties at night. This has been a significant "quality of life" improvement for me.

I had Fibromyalgia symptoms due to Severe Mitral Valve Prolapse, and I also suffered a neck injury due to a rear-end collison. In November '07, I underwent cervical fusion surgery for two protruding disks. Because of the surgery, I now suffer from Post-Traumatic Hypothyroidism. Started Provigil in April '08, and it has cut down on daytime sleepiness. No side effects, no nervousness or jitters. I had minor headaches at first, but those have subsided. Wish I had known about Provigil about three years ago.Read More Read Less

It should be noted that one of the purposes for this medication is to treat fatigue that is suffered by Cerebral Palsy patients who use 3 to 5 times the energy to complete physical tasks that a person without this disability.

excellent results in reversing day sleeping as well as fostering natural night sleep. Able to work during the day with greater attention and strength of focus toward normal life functionsl

it was amazing. I went from sleeping till noon or after, to getting up at 8 am and being full of energy the whole day , up to 11 pm. I suffer from sleep aepnea and epilepsy, which causes me to take high dowses of meds. that all cause drowsiness.Iv'e spent the last 4 years sleeping and being depressed over it. But now, with Provigil, I'm making daily list, completeing them,before I know it the day has past me by.I was prescribed the provigil for the sleep apnea and excess sleepiness. But I never dreamed the difference it would make for me. Donald GrahamRead More Read Less

I have sleep apnea and also Multiple Sclerosis. I use the 100mg tab, but not on a daily basis. I use this when I feel tired from my MS. I recommend this for MS patients that tend to have no energy when they wake up in the mornings. It doesn't seem to affect my symptoms of MS; i.e., the tingling in my feet or legs. It just gives me energy to get throught the day, when I need to do what I need to do. I see my Neurologists for the medication prescription.

The dose started at 200mg once daily. The medication took several months to work efficiently. Also, the medication is very costly even w/ insurance. I experienced zero side effects. Overall, I am somewhat satisfied w/ the medication, but because the cost of the medicine is so expensive I plan to discontinue the drug.
