Modafinil With Alcohol

My specialist wants to prescribe me Modafinil for narcolepsy and I'm doing some research into it and its effects. A lot of stuff online says you can't have alcohol if you've taken it. Wondering if anyone has real-world experience of this? Do you need to be as careful as it makes out? Is that an overcautious warning due to lack of research or is it true and it's bye bye Friday night wine?

I have a friend who takes Provigil and he didn’t stop drinking socially. I would be careful though, I take adderall and I know that it can sometimes keep me from “feeling” the effects of alcohol even though it definitely is affecting me, so maybe that’s the concern? I would ask your doctor though.

Here's an informative article regarding combining Modafanil, and alcohol.

Generally, it is best to avoid combining alcohol, and most prescription medications, since combining them can worsen the severity of the side effects you may experience, such headache, and nausea.

There is some concern about alcohol causing the same problems that you'd be taking Modafanil to treat, so combining the two could also completely defeat the purpose of being prescribed the medication.

How often do you drink, and how much do you drink on those occasions?
