Nuvigil Use For Fatigue

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Anchorage, AK

My Dr just rxd Nuvigil for my fatigue. Wondering if anyone else takes this and if they've experiences relief? Or side effects?
I was thinking about going on Adderrall for my fatigue if it doesn't work. Anyone on that for fatigue?

Nuvigil works great for me. I love it but it is sooo expensive I don't get to have very often.

I am on Adderrall.
30 mg daily. Works very well.

I tried it a couple years ago and didn't feel any different. I stopped taking it because it turned my pee really dark brownish.

I am so glad you asked this question! I did not know about this medicine. I use to take Provigil but it just stopped working. I am going to ask my doc if I can have a script for the Nuvigil to try. THANK YOU!

My doctor orders 150mg twice a day. Absolutely helps. Additionally I'm ordered a 50mg tab for harder days, I am only allowed the extra one #15 per month. The extra small dose does help.
My doctor orders a very small adderal dose with it that she calls a booster (the 5mg twice a day)
They are both extreemly helpful. I cant walk without the nuvigil I'm grateful my doctor suggested and ordered this!!
The internet suggested the movie or series was based off this medication- I found so intresting. Unfortunately now there is a generic this doesn't work as well

I started off much lower dose. I have only been happy with the results

I have more strength and u feel sharper on it. It is a gentle stimulate

I think you'll be happy with it!
