Hi tensor,

I take 200mg of modafinil as soon as I wake up & again at midday. Otherwise I just can't make it through the afternoon. Sometimes I've taken 300mg twice a day but honestly, I don't think it does any more than the 2 x 200. Had to try, hey?

One thing my sleep doc is adamant about (and he's the professor in charge of the sleep disorders unit) is the need to take regular breaks to reset your sensitivity. He says MINIMUM is taking every second weekend off - no modafinil. I wanted to change to monthly but he told me it was too long. Ideally, he says it should be every weekend off.

So that's what I do - 2 out of every 14 days I skip the modafinil. Admittedly, it's not the greatest feeling & I don't get much done on those 2 days, but it's getting easier because I know what to expect now. BTW, I certainly don't get "withdrawals" - I just feel a bit "down" and unproductive.

But when I take it on the following Monday morning, it feels as good as it was when I first started.

My doc says this is essential, and yet I rarely hear people here talk about giving themselves a break. It really does help. I strongly suggest you work it into your life.

Take Care ;)

Mr Molybdenum.

Hi,

yeah, I will stick to that strategy, not taking it on weekends. Do you, or anyone else have a little difficulty breathing while on modafinil, like a tightness around the chest? I can't see it listed as a side effect. It troubles me a bit.

Kind regards,
Mattias

This drug (Modiodal) is *so* expensive, wish there were generics around here.

Hi again tensor,

I forgot I also have something to offer re your comment above.

*** THERE ARE GENERICS AVAILABLE TO YOU! ***

I don't know what country you're in but many countries allow you to import 3 months supply with a script from your local doctor. That's the deal in Australia anyway and it's perfectly legal. I guess you're in Europe, right?

I have purchased modafinil powder from http://bulk.airsealed.com/pd_modafinil.cfm and had no problems with quality or payment. They manufacture & ship it from Bosnia. You will need to invest in some mg accurate scales too though. I bought the "Gemini-20" on ebay for USD$30. They're very accurate and a bargain at the ebay price. http://www.americanweigh.com/product_info.php?products_id=580 Otherwise, they also sell Modalert tabs which are manufactured in India by Sun Pharmaceutics. see http://shop.airsealed.com/pd_modalert.cfm They're a little dearer - but obviously no need for the scales.

I've also purchased modafinil from www.inhousepharmacy.com. In fact, the last time I bought it there it was considerably cheaper that the powder from Airsealed.! They sell the exact same Modalert brand as above. Back in April this year, 100x 200mg Tabs cost GBP56.50. They ship it out from Vanuatu. It got to me here in Australia in just 10 days.

Now, these companies don't give a rat's a_r_s_e if you have a script or not. But YOU need to care because if you try to import it without "whatever your country requires" you'll be breaking YOUR country's laws. So I strongly suggest you call your country's version of the US FDA to see what they require.

One minor complication with inhousepharmacy is that if you search their site for "modafinil", you won't find it. They told me that they took it off because so many Americans were ordering it WITHOUT a US script, that the DEA was just confiscating so many packages. Then the customers were complaining that they didn't receive it, bad mouthing inhouse in forums when inhouse had done nothing wrong. So to avoid bad publicity, they just took it off their site. You can imagine how fickle their customer base is. That's their story anyhow...

If you're bored goto google search & paste in site:http://www.inhousepharmacy.com modafinil

It'll show you the modafinil page. It's still there - they just unlinked it from the site search results :) So all you need to do is e-mail or ring them http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/contact.html & they'll tell you the latest prices for generic modafinil (Modalert) & do a manual order for you. In April, their price was about 1/6 the local name brand here! :)

Lastly, I now have 3 different lots of modafinil. The powder from Bosnia, some tabs from India and a "sample pack" of our official name brand "Modavigil" my doc got from the sales rep. I don't have a mass spectrometer but subjectively, I assure you they are indistinguishable in terms of effect.

Good Hunting :)

Mr. M.

Hi,

it's definately worth looking in to, the price for 30 x 100mg is about 70euro which is about 96USD. I reside in Finland, not sure about the import laws and regulations.
Are you familiar with s/e I described im my former post?

No, I can't say I have ever felt that from modafinil. Methylphenidate - absolutely..! Man I hate that drug. Wish I could sell all the boxes I have of it (from before I got on to the cheap modafinil). Yet strangely if I were to sell it, I would be Babbleing from the inside of the local prison for sure..! ;)

From the modafinil data sheets:

1. Most side-effects subside after a few weeks without reducing the dose.

2. The following are RARE side effects (modafinil vs placebo):
* Chest pain (3% vs 1%)
* Tachycardia (2% vs 1%)

So your feelings of tightness in the chest could be mild "chest pain" as per above. Then again, tightness in the chest is also a symptom of anxiety. I would suggest either lowering the dose of modafinil, or splitting it between morning & midday to see if that stops the feeling. Lastly, you could try .5mg Xanax with it. If it's anxiety related, the Xanax should clarify that for you.

I have a few good PDFs I've collected over the years. Msg me with an e-mail address & I'll send them to you.

Take Care :)

No I don't get that either, maybe you should tell your Dr about it. It doesn't sound good. I'm also going to start breaks like Moly suggested, every 2nd weekend. It's been a great drug for me.

one is irritation to the inside of my mouth
the other is that it is very very difficult for me to get up in the morning
anyone else have these problems?

Hi,

I've been having a strange SE and it could very well be the modafinil, as it started about the same time. It's no huge problem but my mouth gets very dry. I take a sip of water and that fixes it - for 5 seconds. In fact it's really just the back of my mouth. Strange but not painful as yours sounds.

However I do remember seeing a documentary (on Discovery maybe?) about an innovative treatment for mouth ulcers which might work for your mouth irritation. Basically the researchers had found that capsaicin from cayenne pepper healed ulcers very well but patients just couldn't tolerate it. So they mixed it into a kind of hard, suckable toffee & apparently it was then a great success. Here's a link to the idea: http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5788982-description.html

As for not wanting to get out of bed in the morning, I too have that most days. I don't think the modafinil is responsible though. I think it's just called depression - at least in my case.

But another babbler here who takes modafinil mentioned that he too had difficulty getting out of bed, so he takes some methylphenidate (Ritalin) at the same time as the modafinil. That works for him. I've swallowed a lot of Ritalin over the years & I can attest to it's superiority over modafinil for "getting you up". So maybe try that. I have read that the 2 drugs are quite compatible, ie no interaction other than one odd thing: if you take them at the same time, the modafinil absorption gets delayed by one hour. Strange but I'm sure you'll agree it's not a problem.

Hope you can overcome your SEs. I'm a big fan of modafinil.

Good Luck

M.

Spoke to my pdoc this morning about the breathing problem. He said dyspnea is not uncommon among stimulants and should likely not be uncommon for stimulant-like drugs either. Dyspnea is listed as a side effect (>1/1000 - <1/100) for modafinil on the pharmacy authorities web site in Sweden. So I will relax about this as it is not as bad that I can't live with it, I just had to know it's not dangerous, which it shouldn't be. Modafinil is working great for my fatigue and concentration problems.

Hi,

I certainly don't think it was an allergic reaction - let me explain (please forgive the waffling...) Basically, I have chronic tiredness from being a pathologically bad sleeper. So when I take stimulants I'm "a very tired person trying to compensate". Whereas some people who aren't so tired take them to feel "extra alert" or "hyper stimulated". What I mean is that none of these drugs make my tiredness disappear. They just boost several of the "aspects of tiredness" to an extent that I can get by / drive / work, etc. In no way do they succeed in "reversing" my tiredness.

I've taken up to 80mg of Ritalin at a time in order to try to get through the day, but I've found that the more I take, the more it just boosts those few specific aspects of tiredness that it targets. So under these circumstances, I've felt pretty awful. In some ways "worse" than not taking any stims at all. I hope this is making sense. I think of it like a graphic equaliser with say 10 slide switches for you to adjust the music from the subsonic bass all the way up to the highest notes. In my experience, methylphenidate is capable of pushing up the levels of say 4 of those 10 aspects of "feeling alert". And the more I took, the higher it increased those 4 slide switches, while doing nothing for the other 6.

Methylphenidate & other amphetamines I've tried seem to push up "physical body" switches such as heart rate, respiration, sweating, etc at the same time as those 4 aspects of alertness. So on those days when I was more tired than usual, I would sometimes take "too much" methylphenidate and while it boosted the 4 aspects I needed, it also boosted the physical ones too.

So to answer your question, I believe the "shortness of breath" & palpitations I experienced under these circumstances was simply due to me taking too much of the drug. I think my physical reaction would be fairly typical & not an alergy.

In contrast, I feel modafinil seems to push maybe 7 of those 10 "alertness switches" and incidentally, does NOT push up those other physical switches which produced my unpleasant methylphenidate side effects. I've taken up to 800mg of modafinil and really had zero "physical" effects - which is good IMHO. ;)

So I much prefer modafinil over the amphetamines / methylphenidate stims as it seems to target more aspects of "mental tiredness" and at the same time, less "physical body" effects.

Apologies for the waffling again - for some reason I'm extra tired this week & the modafinil has definitely given up for the day. I'm due for my "2 days off" this weekend, so hopefully I'll be much better again on Monday :)

Take Care

Mr. M.

Hi # 2 ER,

I've been thinking more about your strange oral irritation problem and re-reading the modafinil data sheets. I'm wondering if you might be having a mild form of the rare, yet nonetheless "known" dermatological adverse reactions.

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil & scroll down to the "Severe adverse reactions" section. It lists a bunch of skin related side effects with links to explain them. See if you think your symptoms might fall into one of those categories.

And please let us know how you get on.

Take Care

Mr. M.

Thanks for your notes. The candy with cayenne seems worth a try.
Also thanks for your concern but it's not a reaction that is specific to modafinal for me. I'll try the cayenne though.

Modafinal definitely makes it very difficult for me to get up in the morning. but if i can get the mouth thing settled i will figure out the morning thing

Hi,

I think I misunderstood you. I thought you meant that the modafinil wasn't stimulating enough to get you up in the morning. Are you saying it actually sort of sedates you?

Hmmm.... please don't think I'm trivialising your problem, and please take this the right way, but I think you're "normal"...! There - I said it, and in these hallowed halls of nuttiness...

A single dose of modafinil is supposed to only work for one day. In fact, I find I need to take 200mg when I wake up *and* another 200mg at midday to get me through.

I take it for 12 days straight & then have a "weekend off". I find those weekends without pretty unpleasant, ie very tired, lethargic and unfortunately lately "depressing" too. In a way I suppose that's good, as I take it to mean that I really needed to have a break.

When I resume the following Monday, I'm OK again. I think the 2 days off is necessary to reset your sensitivity.

So what I'm getting at is that I think that "having difficulty getting up" the morning after you've been using stimulants, would be a pretty normal response - not a side effect as such.

What do you think?

> Can I ask -do you take modafinil for sleep apnea? And alone or with a CPAP? Just wondering....

I have had "Excessive Daytime Sleepiness" for 10 years. mild at first, crippling in the last few years.

I was diagnosed with severe Central Sleep Apnoea 5 years ago, was prescribed modafinil but swapped over to Ritalin to reduce costs. Then earlier this year someone here told me where I could cheap Modalert brand modafinil from India. So I did that & found it really helped a lot. Normal CPAP is not usually good for CSA, so I had to buy a $9000 "respirator". But I found I just couldn't stand the thing - and believe me I tried. It's sitting in a box now useless...

One month ago I did my 4th sleep study - last was in 2003. During the daytime Mean Sleep Latency Test I scored extremely high, meaning I have severe narcolepsy now. It's all a bit academic as my symptoms have never changed - just got progressively worse.

So earlier this year I was taking it for "CSA". As of 4 weeks ago, I am taking it because "narcolepsy"..

I'm very interested in this as I suffer both from depression/bipolar related hypersomnia and sleep apnea. I'm finally going to get officially tested for the latter, which I've known I had for years. Being a restless sleeper, I'm doubtful about the equipment solutions to the apnea, and not anxious to have surgery at my age & state of health.

So I'm definitely looking for medication aids, and I have found Modafinil & Adrafinil helpful with the daytime drowsiness so long as I actually get out of bed!! I may need ammunition to convince my GP (currently I am in a pdoc-free zone), as he thinks (probably correctly) that I'm already taking too many different meds.

Hi Tony- I have been using the CPAP machine for sleep apnea for about 6 months now- it takes some getting used to ,but they're really not that bad!There's different styles of CPAPs-and it's SO worth it to get some good quality sleep! My husband and I both use one (romantic-for sure) Now if I could adjust this modafinil to a happy medium-somewhere between asleep and wired!I am slowly working my way up to 200 mgs.-so far above 100 makes my HR high.I'm still waiting for the 'mood brightner' part...Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I've found I do develop some tolerance for Adrafinil & probably Modafinil, so hang in there. I find the direct mood-brightening effect to be relatively small; what it does is encourage me to be more active whicle awake, and _that_ has a profound effect on my mood.


Re the jitteriness: If you haven't tried it already, ask your Dr. about Inderal (propanolol). It's a heart med that slows racing heartbeat and helps with some other physical symptoms of nervousness, such as tremor. It's often prescribed for performance anxiety. I've found it very helpful recently; my BP used to run about 145/90 and my pulse was often as high as 90; now I'm down to 120/75 and pulse around 72 - not bad for an overweight, sedentary depressive!

Good Luck,

Tony

I've found it very helpful recently; my BP used to run about 145/90 and my pulse was often as high as 90; now I'm down to 120/75 and pulse around 72 - not bad for an overweight, sedentary depressive!

Tony- I had to laugh at the way you signed off-overweight,sedentary depressive-not that it's funny at all but I can TOTALLY relate to that exact state of mind!I am on Atenelol-which is another beta blocker.I've had some 'free-floating' anxiety even when I haven't taken the modafinil-it doesn't take much. I'm mess right now and am trying to weigh the pros and cons of being on/off SSRIs-and modafinil.Thanks for your help! annabamma
