Re: Told to take Nuvigil for my sleep issues

[billd]

OK, so I started taking this stuff Saturday morning, 150 mg pill one time a day in the early AM (breakfast time for example)

Headaches every day. Yesterday I was falling asleep in a class. It was as if I had not taken it, but I had. I mean I found myself staring at the screen and still seeing dream images with my eyes open, and yawning all day and ready for a snooze.

Today I’m REALLY REALLY tired, and could drop into sleep any time. Funny, Sat, Sun and Mon I was wide awake all day, got quite a bit done, never once felt like napping.

Today it’s as if the only impact it has is to give me a buzz, make me light headed, but otherwise I’m tired, and not alert or awake.

For the ADHD – I COULD BE WRONG, but so far, I don’t see or feel any impact. I’m still forgetful, disorganized, waste a whole day of time (well, you see where I am now, eh?), flit from thing to thing, etc.

From meds all I get is the side effects, a buzz like i’m taking too many cold meds, and a headache.

I’m so “depressed” (more upset, angry than anything, not real clinical depression) and BORED all the time, and sick of this.
