Advice & Tips
Got my life back. When combined with SSRI's was by far the best treatment for depression I have ever seen. It should be considered for trials for depression.....

Advice & Tips
Life with out Modafinil is very ordinary. I was first diagnosed with depression two year before having a sleep study and OSA and somnolence was discovered. I wonder now if the depression was just a result of these two conditions. I am on 150mg of Setraline for the depression and since being on both that and 200mg of modafinil, I have my life back. I once could not walk past the bed and not want to get in. I often fell aslep if I lay down on the floor to play with my children. I was a zombie. Great drug. Worth every cent for my issues.

Advice & Tips
It was easy. It did not keep me from sleeping but it helped keep me awake during the day. No side effects. When my insurance stopped paying, I had to re-do other meds that were sedating. Provigil was necessary but insufficient to keep me awake.
