"Actually, the times when I don't take any modafinil, I have more energy and can easily stay up all night. Modafinil only gives me a sudden surge of mental and maybe physical energy for around half an hour. Then, I become lethargic and down."

"I just started taking 100mg prescribed for MS fatigue. Today is my second day and I didn't notice anything other than an increase in fatigue. Not sure what's going on. I'm sad this hasn't helped me at all. Should I give it time? Others said they felt improvement immediately, but I'm more tired than before and can hardly move."

"It has been the most useless medication which I've ever taken regarding fatigue. At least, Adderall and Ritalin worked the same way for a couple of weeks, generating energy. Just the first time, I felt more energetic for only 3 or 4 hours and the major problem with this med is that all of a sudden, it puts you down, giving you a type of fatigue that now it's worse than before. The dosage isn't important at all with this med. I'm a researcher and it's the first med which I've come across and taken that 200mg is no different than 600mg. Even for some people higher dosage makes them feel so lethargic and depressed. There're people out there who take medications like antidepressants which make them feel so lethargic during the day and 100mg of this med doesn't or, in better words, can't counteract. I'm on Seroquel, which makes me so exhausted both mentally and physically, and this "magical med" couldn't counteract the fatigue-induced part even a bit."

"I was very hopeful about this medication and really thought it would help, but it didn’t do anything for me. The reason why I am not giving it 1 star is because I didn’t get any side effects either. Just a sugar pill to me."

"Modafinil really didn't do anything at all for me. First of all, if I take it everyday after only 2 days, it'll lose all of its positive effects. I should take it like once a week. For a while it gives me some energy after 3 or 4 hours, I get even more exhausted than before."

"My neurologist prescribed this medication to help with fatigue related to MS. I take 200mg. Some days it seems to help keep me awake but other days there is no difference. I don’t take it everyday because it isn’t very effective for me. No side effects."

"After being diagnosed with schizophrenia at 22, I ended up going to four inpatient hospitals to get on the right medicine. After being discharged from the 4th hospital, I woke up the next morning and felt like a different person. the feeling was horrible and It lasted an entire year until I got on Modafinil. I tried many antidepressants that did not work. My doctor prescribed me modafinil, and within two days I felt normal again."

"Modafinil has been the most expensive , the most overrated and yet the most unusual medication I've ever taken. At the first time, you're on cloud nine and it made so talkative. But later on, I became depressed for no reason , I became exhausted and I didn't have any interest in doing anything at all. It releases dopamine and serotonin but it increases your histamine level of your system and after a couple of hours it gave me too many side effects both physical and emotional. It's not safe at all. If you take more than a certain amount, it will have the paradoxical effects. The other times, it just gave me side effects and numbed all of my feelings and emotions."

"I was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I have been having severe bouts of fatigue where I can't keep my eyes open. This medication has helped so much. I take it first thing in the morning and I'm good for the day. I don't get edgy or nervous. I don't have any issues sleeping at night either. It really has been a game changer for me."

"I was hoping to feel more energetic but I don’t. I use a CPAP, sleep well and 2 hours after I wake up, I’m lethargic all day long."

"Just starting this for my Multiple Sclerosis but seems to be very effective. I think I may need to cut out my morning coffee though. To much stimulant? Will have to see."

"I have chronic fatigue to the point that I nearly pass out at work. I was prescribed Modafinil. I was prescribed 200mg. It didn't do a thing. My doctor upped it to 300mg and still does nothing."
