Saw my pdoc yesterday and as expected she recommended I go with Modafinil.

I got the prescription filled and took it this morning.

I'm paranoid about allergic reactions to drugs so I took only 1/2 a pill.

I didn't have much of a response - I feel like I was a little more focused on the things I was doing in the morning but that could have just been a placebo effect. I'm back to yawning this afternoon so it's obviously not affecting me at this small dose.

But at least I know that I'm not severely allergic to it.

I'll try a full pill tomorrow.

My doctor wants me to take one a day for a week and then go to two a day to find out how it goes for the month.

Hugs to everyone that's struggling!
