Anyone Taking Nuvigil?

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Edmond, OK

I have used modafinil for about a year and it worked well for the first 6 or 7 months but now it doesn't do as much for me. I think our prescription plan is using another manufacturer. I am wanting to change to Provigil and see if the name brand works better. Any advice on Provigil? Also, is anyone on Nuvigil and how is it working?

I have used both. Provigil didn't do a thing. Nuvigil does if I take it everyday. When I skip days because I've whore myself out, it takes a few for it to work again.

Adderall gave me the best results of anything I've been given. However, after taking in for a few years, I opted to switch. Stimulants can have some lasting effects on your overall health and I was starting to get concerned about what it may be doing to my heart.

Hope this helps. :)

Provigil worked great for my fatigue, but I can't afford it! Since going generic it has hardly dropped in price. I look forward to the day Provigil is affordable, if that ever happens. :)

I've been taking Nuvigal ever since my insurance said they wouldn't pay for Provigal. My nuero gave me a good supply of samples. works great on work days.

@Corry- Curious as to how much you take and then crash at 3pm. Trying to get a doseage that is optimal for my workday without over doing it...
