Hello All,
Hopefully someone has had this same issue regarding Nuvigil. First, here are the details of my conditions and meds:
BiPolar II - I take Seroquel at night and Lamictal in the morning
Sleep Apnea - I am on a CPAP machine during the night (have been using this for 3 years), I had previously used a Oral Device but that did not help
I still wake up in the morning very sleepy like I have not slept at all. Sleeping meds in the night have not helped. My Psychiatrist recently prescribed Nuvigil to me to help me function during the day. I have been on it for a week now at 150mg and it has helped a great deal.
However, at the end of the day my jaw starts to tighten (there is no pain though) and I start to get tired and lightheaded. Has anyone else with similar conditions and meds had the same problems? I am wondering if I need to take a higher or lower dose. Of course I will consult with my Dr. but I still wanted to hear opinions.
Thanks!
