“I had been on Concerta in high school for questionable ADHD diagnosis, and it had a VERY minimal benefit.

Now going for sleep study.” Sticking to Adderall, much better for ADHD!! The only thing is yes you won't sleep. Swim frequently mixes the 2 but as a word of warning, this can really get your heart rate up, so if you dont work out/have heart problems, never mix stimulants cuz you will feel really shitty and may be putting yourself at risk for serious health complications. Once I reached my mid 20's the famed ADHD depression kicked in and I spent 10 years on anti-depressants. I've been on anti depressants and anti anxiety meds but never felt even 75% better. I'm fortunate I don't have to pay for Modafinal as I'm totally disabled and have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome due to Opioids. She mentioned it also might be helpful for my ADHD. I have to order it overseas (it is technically illegal to do so in the US but customs only cares about abusive drugs). “I've severe ADD, in Romania ADHD was recognised for adults only a couple of years ago, Ritalin like meds aren't legal for adults, only Strattera and I need to take my parents to testify I'd had symptoms since my childhood - impossible. I take only 50mg at a time-lasts about 4 hours right now..cuts the cost down “As a kid I was on Ritalin, without it I would have flunked. What I don’t like is that it makes my urine smell weird.” “Excellent drug I have been taking it now 1.5 years. Now I am just taking Modafinal 200 mg. I gave it 5 stars, because some days it helps, kinda, but so far I'm not happy with the results. Dosage matters. I really hope some researchers test armodafinil and modafinil for adhd and depression. Tried one pill in my free days - had no real effect. Didn't do anything for ADHD-related symptoms.” My regular doctor weaned me off the adderall and started the modafinl. It took great effort to pay attention and I struggled to complete things. I am also prescribed Adzenys (amphetamine) which is great for the cognitive and emotional dysregulation aspects of ADHD, but Modafinil handles other symptoms: overwhelmed mood that results in low energy, anxiety around task initiation, and of course excessive daytime sleepiness. Stopped Adderall and tried modafinil again and feel so much better. When visiting museums I was unable to focus on exhibitions for more than 2 minutes, I now spend a whole days museums reading everything! I finally got a UTI and had to go back to the Adderall! It feels like you are just at ease with whatever it is you want to be doing instead of trying to do things and feeling like you need to find your bed, It feels like the ultimate coffee. I gained about 8lbs in the first three weeks to a stable weight which is OK but my brain is much clearer. I just wanted to share my experience (never have before, but I felt compelled to because this is an emotional topic for me) in case you're nervous about giving it a shot.”

It is much less neuro-toxic and has no side effects but yet gives me the mental clarity, focus, and stay up that I need to do what I want. Modafinil (Brand name: Provigil) is a wakefulness-promoting prescription drug that reduces the extreme sleepiness that accompanies sleep disorders including narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work disorder (SWD).It is sometimes used off-label to treat symptoms of ADHD in adults 18 years of age and older.
“My whole life I struggled to with focus, energy and confidence. Answer.

Out of bed, no anxiety or very little. Recently I stopped the Adderall and feel much calmer and happy without the side effects of Adderall.
“Wow is all I can say. He said Provigil can increase dopamine without the dangerous effects of cocaine. You have to stop sometimes to clear your system. I guess it comes down to what you’re using it for and how your body reacts. Modafinil helps me to concentrate and focus without the side effects I've experienced with dexamphetamine, dexmethylphenidate and Ritalin® (methylphenidate).

So minimal that after 2 school years it was determined my problem was probably more attributable to being "smarter than your average bear" and I just was not being challenged in my non-honours and non-dual credit classes. I started a new job and have A's in school.” Yes I take it off label (particularly armodafinil) but it certainly works. Also it’s unbelievably expensive if you don’t have insurance that will pay for this medication, even the generic version.” “For ADHD and narcolepsy. Anything” Was switched to modafinil B/C my anorexia nervosa and I can't wake up, get out of bed, finish reading an email. Better Compared to other drugs and the horrible side effects and addiction potential.” I was trying to find something that wasn’t as strong as the Adderall (60mgs) twice daily. I can stick to a boring task and get it done. I code all day, and no this is not a magic pill to motivate you, you don't feel anything.
