I take Modafinil daily for my Narcolepsy with cataplexy

I have tried Armodafinil in the past, however the results were not successful, in my case. The drug definitely helps to fight fatigue, but the effects are not very strong.

Yes, I take 150 mg of Sunosi daily. This drug extends my day, and helps me to remain alert and awake. However, I have to be very deliberate with each dosage. For example, I have to chop each pill into four pieces. (Taking the entire pill at the same time raises my blood pressure immediately.) Also, I have to alternate taking these chopped pieces with Amphetamine tablets. Sunosi, by itself, is not such a strong drug. Combined with Amphetamines keeps me awake for up to 12 hours each day. You would have to work with your doctor to find the correct dosage and method of administration. I hope that helps!

My doctor put me on this in an attempt to wean me off of Adderall, but it didn’t work. The Sunosi give me such anxiety, which I never ever have, and I would have to end up taking Adderall anyway, in order to calm me back down. After two weeks of basically freaking out every day, I decided I just couldn’t do it.

Provigil is what I take, too. It used to keep me awake all day, but now it works well for half a day or so.
