"Started shift work again after 20 years and was dragging! Doc put me on the armodafinil and it’s been a blessing! I can stay fully awake and engaged and go through my days without a hint of exhaustion! This even helped during a recent opioid withdrawal episode after an accident and cut the sick time down a day or two."

"Been taking Adderall to get me through my long days and just did not like the crash and pounding headache to follow. It also seemed no 2 days were ever the same, one day just lots of energy and no headache the next day just real tired jittery and massive headache. My Dr put me on Nuvigil 250 MG, I always start lower than he wants so I started at 150mg in the morning to ease into it. I planned a couple low key days at home to get my body used to it and my brian could focus on work and not the drug. About the 3rd day I got off early to stop by Kroger to grab food for dinner that night. Got back to my truck and had to literally sit there for hours, I could not even get the truck into gear. My mind had checked out, I knew what I was doing but I was not going to do them. The act of driving scared the crap out of me. I called my sister and spoke with her for several hours drank lots of water, I finally got my courage up to try and make my way back home. I was so jittery, paranoid to the bone."
