Anyone have any experience with taking Modafinil or Provigil? I’m so frustrated with myself today. I complained about brain fog from Meds and depression with my Pdoc for 6 months. I kept asking for something to help with it. I even jumped through her hoops and spent $800 on a full battery of psychological and neurological testing to make sure that I didn’t have early onset dementia or altziemers or some other brain problem. I passed with a clean bill of health and the doctor testing me even stated in his official report that he thought my cognitive problems were side effects of the psych Meds.

So my doc finally prescribed Modafinil. What do I do? I filled the script and they’re sitting there collecting dust in my cabinet. I’m afraid to take them. It makes me want to rip my hair out! I’m scared that I will get manic. I take one every once in a while. (I’m supposed to take 2) The only difference I notice is a headache.

I talked to my doc finally and told her the situation. She said that I need to take them a while to notice an effect. Well duh! Isn’t that usually the case with psych Meds? If anyone has an experience with these Meds I’d really appreciate some feedback.
