Journal Entry for August 23, 2007 Mood
Thursday, August 23, 2007

Has anyone experienced the same situation as me with the effects of modafinil, and now have hanged their medication?

I am due to see my consultant in a months time and I feel sheis reluctant to change the medication as I did express my concerns of the lack of efect on the medication. I would love to hear from anyone with their experiences and also I am overweight and I would love to loose the weight buthaving the lack of energy just doesnt motovate me and also the night time hunger pangs wich are related to the condition really annoy me, and also the restlesness and constant dram state of sleep leave me agitated as I feel I have not been to sleep? Good I can moan can't I  lol xxx Embarassed

    HI darl, im on the same tablets here in australia and my docter is the top docter in victoria and he was the same as your doc and so i stuck with his advice and upped the amount of the tablets so know i'm on 14 a day and i'm doing well and 50 kilos lighter and still get midnight munchies but i get up and have a cup of soup (packet stuff) I've been on so many different pills and my body billeds a tolerance to tablets
    within the first month so i understand take care

    Hi Tina. So good to meet someone else from the UK here. I my story is so similar it is weird seeing some else write your own thoughts! I am on modafinil. I have been for nearly 2 yrs. The last 4 months tho it might as well have been smarties for all the good it is doing. I now have a new consultant and he has now upped the modafinil to 500mg a day (started at 200 then 300) and I am improving. But it doesn't stop you feeling really tired. Now a sleep attack for me isn't about falling asleep when I don't want to; it is a drop of IQ into single figures and a headache! I too am gradually losing the weight since the modafinil but you are so right about the sweet cravings and being too tired to exercise.
    Moan all you want Pet. I'm with you!
