My psychiatrist prescribed me modafinil

Has anyone had experience with this medication? From what I read it is a stimulant

Yeah, it helps with daytime tiredness. makes it a bit more bearable but if you stop taking your AP - be careful with the oncoming psychosis - it’ll be more intense

I asked my previous psychiatrist if I could go on this drug.
She refused to prescribe it to me saying that it would instantly make me psychotic.
I happily declined

Mannn after the hospital switched me to a new psychiatrist I was on just pregabalin no AP for months, scary as hell what happened after.

He also wanted me on stimulants, ADHD meds, I got to a point where everyone is just denying my schizophrenia is and I have to advocate I have it for myself.

But sorry, no insight on stimulants, I dodged that cause I seen how just the pregabalin made me with no AP. I’d have to assume stimulants can induce mania at the very least to a minor extent.
