Advice & Tips:
I didn't like the effects. I should have asked for modafinil instead. I remember dr hogam prescribing it and it worked, but that was 8 years ago.
So now I don't know if i should fight for this again next winter.

Advice & Tips:
I had to wait about a month to get this drug approved. I only use it for the shorter winter days. I usually start about Oct 1 to April 1. I had a choice between modafinil or armodafinil. I used armodafinil and it didn't keep me alert and non-drowsy as I had remembered from earlier usage. I didn't like it.
Next winter, I may ask for modafinil.I am not working now, so I may be able to rely on the Rytary and Amantadine to keep me from being drowsey. Maybe my reaction to all the drugs have changed?

Dosage:
As needed
Advice & Tips:
Nuvigil helped with wakefulness during the day. I used it becasue Cymbalta caused sleepiness.
Nuvigil does not produce tremors. Does not produce a "let down" feeling when the dose is used up.
This is expensive if you don't have insurance. If you do, it's like the cost of a caribou coffee evey day, withouth the tremor.
Cost:

Advice & Tips:
Make sure you refill and take this on schedule! Miss a day or two and you will feel how much you really need it! NO JOKE! It does work, don't trust me- miss a day or two then take it... You are on a two three day "crack high" of non-stop wakefulness... House is clean, lawn is mowed, and your neighbor's weeds are pulled... So not a good idea! Medication has a discount program to save you money.
