In reply to Paradoxical reaction from modafinil, posted by tensor on April 4, 2010, at 7:57:07
> I have had a hiatus from modafinil for about a year. I tried modafinil (200mg) a week ago and I actually got something done, but it didn't work as it once did. Since then I only get tired from it, so tired I have to sleep. If I take 200mg in the morning, or even 300mg, I will sleep for several hours as soon as it kicks in.
> Why? I had the same reaction to bupropion, it worked wonderfully (as in 100% remission) for a few weeks, then suddenly I just wanted to sleep when I took it.
> It's like I'm running out of dopamine or something. Ideas greatly appreciated.

> /MattiasI'm the same as you. Bupropion worked great for me for about 2-3 months and then it did nothing. Provigil/Nuvigil would work some days, would do nothing another day, and make me tired and irritable the other day. Same things happen with coffee and other stimulants.
Not sure what to really try anymore either, as I'm in desperate need of energy and motivation.
