Modafinil Side Effects
My MS Neurologist tried me on a low dose of Modafinil last month to help with fatigue and focus. I took a half pill first thing in the morning. I really didn't notice any improvement, however, I woke up several times through the night and I could not get warm. I was shivering. The next day, I started getting hot flashes and my face was very flushed. I felt like my face was on fire. After 4 days, I couldn't handle the side effects. It took about 4 days to stop waking up several times a night and for my body to not go from the extremes of being too hot or too cold. The symptoms seemed worse than the fatigue! Anyone else have this happen?
I have been on Modafinil also and struggled with waking up during the night. I haven't had the chills or hot flashes but definitely waking up and struggling to go back to sleep.
Neurologist tried me on Modafinil. My body couldn't handle it. Now I went back Amantidine 100mg 2 pills in morning and 1 in late afternoon if needed. I have had this disease for almost 25 years diagnosed, but longer then that unofficially. Just live with the fatigue when it gets bad. PMA keeps me going. Just rolling with it.
