Modafinil?

[MommyofNatTyZach]

Has anyone ever tried Modafinil for fatigue? Results?

I am happy this is working well for you.

Corrie... U will probably be approved anyway... Our insurance really just wants the paper work to back up the decision usually. :) but either way you have extra justification for it :)

Lizzie... Extra spoons are wonderful! I hope it works well for you!

It must be that time of year! I just got my RX for Modafinil yesterday and took 100 mg about an hour ago. Still waiting for special authorizatiin but I suggested to the doc that I had read somewhere probably on this forum that using my sleep apnea for the reason to prescribe it but work easier than for MS since I did not try Amantadine previously.

Good luck to everyone!

Update:
I emailed my Neuro this afternoon and she faxed in an Rx for this medication this evening. At this point, I will take any extra spoon as C referred to it above.
Cheers to All,

Thanks for the sweet words and good info, Mommy of NatTyzach!

Sweet LuLu, I'm only jumping on the MS Fatigue bandwagon because the baby is 9 months now and she's really easy. She slept all night since she was 7 weeks, is always happy and tells us what she wants. LOL. She's a super baby :)

However, my naps are seldom but have gone from an hour and a half or so to now, 5- 6 hours. And I still wake up feeling groggy. Work fog starts at 10am now and lasts until I leave at 5. Boo. I so appreciate your advice, you are ALWAYS so helpful to me.

Hope you are all doing well!
Lizzie

Lizzie,  I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the MS Fatigue explanation if you are also dealing with a new baby.  There are so many changes going on in your life, perhaps some of those are creatingcompounding the fatigue.  Be sure to talk with the doctors and see what you might try - the fatigue can be awful, regardless of the cause.  hugs, Laura
