Have been taking modafinil for fatigue, poor concentration and low motivation. I'm taking it with Remeron. For three months the drug has done wonders, I can work much more efficently, I have had much energy and more "go", my concentration was improved so much that I didn't lift my eyes from the monitor for hours and got plenty of work done and done good, it has also improved my memory.
That lasted for three months, now it just doesn't have the punch it had before, now I'm just tired. So what's going on? The usual "The brain has got used to the substance and to restore efficacy I must quit it for months"?
My dosage has been 200mg in the morning, I have had my clock ringing 1 hour before I have planned to get up of bed I then take the pills and fall back to sleep, 1 hour later when it's time to get up, modafinil has started to work some (it's slow to kick in) and it's easier to get started.
The strategy to avoid dose escalation and/or poop-out is that I have taken only a half dose at Friday and nothing during weekend, but it obviously wasn't enough. Or is that the problem, should I take it continuously? This drug (Modiodal) is *so* expensive, wish there were generics around here.It's so sad because it worked so well and I was very productive at work. Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Mattias
