Advice & Tips
Since this medication was prescribed to me because I was diagnoised with narcolepsy during a sleep study done in 2007, this condition makes meel just fall asleep sometimes without any reason. So this medication gives me like a pick me up.
The positive effect is that it gives me false energy.

Advice & Tips
Kept me up until 3 or 4 am several times a week. I felt my brain was contantly firing , and lack of sleep hendered my daily routines involving my young kids. With com ination of othe drugs, I had to stop driving for at least 10 days.
