New medication modafinil

I got a free trial from my doctor…he said either it’s gonna motivate me to write a book or its gonna make me wanna join Isis…he was joking. It’s a vigilance drug. It’s like adderall but not a “true stimulant”. Take care

The only real difference I notice is I haven’t needed klonopin yet today

No withdrawals no anxiety which is strange because I thought if anything it would cause anxiety

I feel like my thoughts are a little clearer too and I have more energy based on a phone conversation I had

Welp there comes my benzo withdrawals, no anxiety though … So I’m gonna try to fight through it. I tried taking this instead of coffee at first but was real tired. It didn’t help me read but I feel full of energy…I’m on half a pill.

According to my genotype I’d have little or no response to it. http://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs4680(A;A)

I brought it up to my doctor a year or two ago because of the movie limitless and he said “actually modafinil is a great idea for you…but let me think about it”

Then we forgot, but I brought it up again cuz I’ve been having motivation and cognition problems since raising the abilify…he said we can give it a try. I think I’m on 112.5 mg a day in the morning. So far it’s decent. He said it’s real expensive but maybe can get it for cheap somehow? That’s what he said at least. I don’t understand that site you just showed.

So there may be some truth to what I’m feeling

Usually I’d have a panic attack by now if I hadn’t taken my benzo pill

Let me know how it goes over the next little bit . I considered trying it

I was on modafinil for a year and did not care for it.

I hope it works better for you though!

I love the stuff. It keeps me awake and alert when I’d normally be dragging. I’ve been on 200mg a day for a few years now. Lately I’ve been without though and have gone through some serious withdrawals.
