Lucky you going to Niagara Falls. It’s a beautiful place. I have been there, but my husband and daughter have not. Maybe one day we finally will get to take a trip there as a family, though I went right after college; you didn’t need a passport to go between Canada and the US, maybe a driver’s license, something like that since the view is so much better on the Canadian side.

Modafinil works in about an hour - it's sort of a stimulant. So I should feel something if it's working at all.
My pdoc said I can increase the dosage after a week, but I've grown impatient. She said my target dose is 200mg (2 pills) so I'm just skipping ahead to that right away instead of waiting for 5 more days. It's not like Lamictal where you have to be super careful and titrate to your target dose really slowly.
I'm so tired of this depression I am looking for anything that will give me a boost. For a while I even considered vaping and getting lots and lots of coffee, just to bump me out of this rut I've been in for the past 10 months.
Niagara Falls is just a two-hour drive away from me and I go at least four times each year (once per season). You need a passport these days to cross the border (at least we Canadians do, to cross to the US side).
I've been to the US side many times and like the parks there, although I agree with you that the view is better from the Canadian side. But it's amazing how close you can get to the falls on the US side!
