I had no trouble getting to sleep last night and ended up sleeping 10 hours - a small improvement over the 12 I have been getting.
Yesterday I was not particularly awake or focused. I did read another 50 pages of my friend's book and finished it. I don't know if that's a placebo effect or the Modafinil.
I'm not feeling any different, or alert, or focused, or less lethargic. Maybe a little less depressed but it's still bad.
I took it this morning as soon as I got up and was still feeling tired 2 hours after taking it along with coffee.
I contacted my pdoc and asked her whether I can increase the dose. I really want to see some sort of effect - I'm so tired of this depression.
I'm planning to take the Modafinil around 6:30am tomorrow morning and try to go back to sleep - I think that will show whether it's doing anything.
