Modafinil

Hi all, havent posted much lately, hope you all are well. I just wanted to ask a question about the medication modafinil, I'm doing a bit of a trial run with it, and took my first dose of it today for both fatigue, and this constant foggy/spaced out feeling I have in my head. Ive mentioned the latter on here before, doctors are still having a hard time figuring out the cause, and if it has to do with MS or not, but the newest out of them is trying the modafinil. I just wanted to ask, to those who have taken it before, how long did it take before you started noticing anything from it? I just feel a bit stranger then usual so far, took it about 2 hours ago, but I was just curious how long it should take before I start seeing the (hopefully positive!) effects of it. Thanks!

takes an hour or so to kick in for me

Thanks @bloomers1968, I wasnt sure if it was one of those drugs that sort of need to build up in your system, but the more ive read into it online the more I believe its supposed to help right away.. My doctor told me to take one 100mg pill in the morning then another before 2pm if needed, so today I am going to try that and see if I feel anything more. The 100mg from this morning doesnt seem to be doing much, but going to give it another shot before deciding its not for me!
