hello babble, im doing good...its been a depressing period for the last couple weeks...the only time i get really past it at night....but what i have to say, i've said it many times in the past....the medications im taking my body has created resistance to it...everytime i take my nuvigil nothing....i mean nothing....my doctor and my mom say its just a silly.

So....is there any tests, like blood tests, i think it is getting in the blood stream but its not becoming active and taking effect, im on moderate duty meds, and they completly do not work at all....and its not tolerance...i don't know what it is.

Is there like some kinda Ioniztion that happens in the blood stream that controls substances. I'm thinking that my body is doing it to protect itself, maybe something happened, i have put my self through trama from abusing substances, mild siezure, adrenal release, i never went to the ER because i didnt want them to know of my drug problem, and dealt with it myself.

Can anyone like....have a theroy, my doctor says i worry, and its all in my head....its not, it is NOT...like walking around lightheaded and telling people and they say your normal...nothing to worry about, like that....yea..

anything would appricated

rj - It could be that your disorder has progressed rather then your developing a resistance to Nuvigil (armodafinil).

I am sorry, but I don't have any clinical experience with Nuvigil, but it is similar to modafinil (Alertec in Canada). I have never seen resistance develop with Alertec, but am not sure if it never happens.

Could you just be in a breakthrough phase in you disorder?

Sorry that I cannot be more help. - Cam

I don't respond to modafinil anymore. If I take 300mg I can focus on a task, almost like a robot, but it does nothing for my energy or drive anymore. It's not unusual to stop responding to a medication, happens all the time, this board wouldn't exist otherwise ;-)

its just....i've been bottled up about this...see its not really that big of deal but i think that my meds are suppost to work...they don't they resist the effects. I've had dreams of trying to find out why there not working....it just makes me become over obsessed in thinking im doomed because this crappy model of a body, it doesnt respond to the things that are trying to help it. It makes me so mad, i wanna curse this body for all the crap its put me through. But i don't wanna jynx myself.....you know its really wierd...ill say stuff, and then it jynx on me....so maybe i should just say constructive stuff....i have a tendacy to say negative things because of frustration.

I post this stuff here....it doesnt help, but its the only way i can get this stuff out of my mind....

thanks for both your responses..
