I take Cymbalta for my depression. Not only does it act like a stimulant, it also reduced my fibromyalgia pain by about 90%. I do need to take propanol, a blood pressure med, to stop my racing heat… read more
And on the 2 / 200mg name brand Provigil daily. What time span between doses and on the second dose is there a cut off time? Based on if you take it any later you wouldn't be able to fall asleep. Or what?
I took it for a while, and it did not help me at all, and gave me major headaches.
I was prescribed provigil 200 mg 2 x day 16 years ago. It worked great for 13 years. About 3 years ago around 2 pm my medication had wore off. So I started taking 3 tablets a day (600) mg. So I had medication for 20 days and suffered the last 10 days because I didn't think my doctor would prescribe 3 a day
Now my problem is provigil tolerance. One day it works and most days it doesn't. Has any one that has taken this for a long period had this to happen to them? Any suggestions on what I need… read more
I asked my doctor specifically yesterday wether or not generic was different than name brand he said it could be a "little" different but....not really a difference.?. Something like that. He didn't… read more
I have been taking adderal for a good 15 years. The highest does and is not helping. I took adderal originally for adhd. But it doesn’t seem to work anymore. Do you have any suggestions?
Provigil to stay awake during daytime, but doesn't help with concentration and focus.
Does anyone go thru several days of mostly just sleeping?
I put all the details in my answer about hormones and narcolepsy. Because of the combo of N + PMDD, I would sleep about 16 hours each day 2 days, before my cycle started. (Summarized).
Hi everyone 👋🏻 Wondering if anyone else here has type 2 narc? (Narcolepsy without cataplexy) I’ve tried researching it but even less is known about type 2 than 1. Just going through the motions..
I was told I have narcolepsy from a doctor but never had the sleep test to see what kind I have!
Since the hypothalamus gland is affected what type of symptoms have you experienced besides excessive sleepiness?
Not sure if all of my bizarre symptoms are directly related to narcolepsy but some might be.
The symptoms I am trying to figure out are :
Low grade fevers (10-15 per month)
Subclinical hypothyroidism with normal t3 &t4
Extreme chocolate milk craving (about 40oz a day)
No appetite, without weight loss , no thirst either
Very interested in others symptoms, sometimes patients can… read more
I used to get low appetite when I'm sleepy during the day and hunger attacks at night when I wake up. This in the long run led to undernourishment. Thankfully, my neurologists have prescibed a… read more
I have read many stories online of people doing well on Nuvigil for awhile, but then as time goes on having to add a "booster" medication halfway through the day. I want to know if I should expect this, or not. Has anyone been on Nuvigil for a long time with no decrease in effectiveness? Some sources also suggest taking a couple days off the medicine to curb resistance. Has anyone had experience with that?
Three months in a row I have struggled to get my Nuvigil 200mg (60 count) rx. CVS always has it on backorder, and now my new pharmacy took 5 days to get my meds. I work full time, so I make a lot of mistakes when I am unmedicated.
Anyone with CVS caremark? What is a less stressful way to get your meds on time?
Idk if it's my state... PA only allows 2 days before the rx is out, and no auto refills. I can't keep going through this, and I know I'm not alone. :(
