Newby On Nuvigil

Alex Says:
I just was prescribed 150 MG to help with my daily sleepiness resulting from my battle with sleep apnea. I have been on the med about 6 days and see no reaction good or bad. I have read so much about how much different the side effects are on folks and the benefit / no benefit from a variety of patients using it. Is this drug just a roll of the dice and when should I feel any effect from the med? I read it deters hunger but I have seen no decrease in my appetite thus far. I need to lose weight as a side benefit. Any hope for that? Am I to expect in effect on libido?

Hello, Alex! How are you?
It may take about 4 weeks for this medication to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body.
The FDA classifies this medication as a stimulant, so along with the possible side effects you listed, you may also experience nervousness, insomnia and anorexia.
Is there anything else I can help with?
