In reply to Modafinil only worsens my depression, posted by West on November 1, 2009, at 16:17:17
Yeah, me too. Actually the first day or two is ok, better energy, a little more life, kind of irritable though, but by day 3 I am on the couch thinking death is better.
Weird, because I used to take its parent, Adrafinil, for several years and it was good to me. That was in combination with 20mgProzac and 5mgZyprexa. But a revisit to Adrafinil was just as bad as Modafinil. It's a differenct chapter these days. What used to be no longer is.
I got the same really bad depressive reaction as Modafinil when I tried Wellbutrin, three different times just to be sure.
Modafinil is a great med for a lot of people. Actually it is one of the highest scoring meds at patient rating forums. But it isn't meant for me.
I figured this all meant that I do bad on norepinephrine drugs. Until I tried Ritalin, or Savella, which actually felt good. This brain chemistry stuff is a ton more complicated than we know.
