Vigil (modafinill) - anyone had any side effects ?

Posted by Diego11 on December 7, 2012, at 17:35:48

Recently I got a script for Modafinil (trade name is the Vigil- German formula of modafinil) from my doc due to bad fatigue and tiredness from Nardil + Lyrica(pregabalin) in combination.

I have already tried this drug several times(in 100 - 200mg doses), but often I have got some side effects. Nearly always towards to end of the day, I have started feeling more fatigued and sleepy as commonly and also I have been often totally exhausted, tired and mostly irritated in the end of day (sometimes even earlier).

During the first few days it seemed like it worked a lot better and I felt more stimulated, concentrated and maybe also more social (during the weekend I did not take any modafinil). Next week after weekend, I felt in the same way like first times on modafinil and I got almost same unpleasant side effects and even wore because those great effects and benefits from drug probably stopped working or went away.
It seems like mostly after a break period I feel more dizzy and confused, muddled as in days when I take modafinil periodically.

Could that be because I did not take modafinil regularly/every day (but with a break for 3-4 days from the beginning of using) and then I started taking it again ? Could there be any relation, Or just placebo effect ?

How are your experiences with the modafinil in regard to side effect ( in "everyday" and then "as needed" taking) ?

Please share your experiences.

Thanks!
