Wow. I did a search on "modafinil depression" on this site and came to this thread. I have similar effects. First 50-100 mg are good (more alert, talkative, but not much motivation) but at the end of the day I feel bad. Dyshporic is a good term as mentioned. Bad thoughts, pessimistic, guilt, etc. Of course my Dr and psychologist do not understand. Most stimulants (caffeine, I have not tried many) let me tired, but this one has a plus of sadness.
Anyone can give an explanation? I read that it raises all neurotransmitters except GABA, which lowers. I take a small dose alprazolam at night. Maybe more benzo during the day can help or will that negate the effects of modafinil?
