So Tired...

Updated December 30, 2012

I have been suffering from anxiety (along with some sort of epileptic fit disorder that seems to be baffling physicians ...for whatever reason.)
also, i get Very tired during the day. to the point where i could fall asleep (almost) anywhere. I (obviously) don't, but being that tired is VERY irritating to say the least.
I start taking Nuvigil 150 mg tablet tomorrow, and I am some-what worried about side affects this medication may have on someone (me) who had anxiety and gets easily "worked up" via "uppers"

I certainly see your concern regarding anxiety, since Armodafinil (Nuvigil) is a stimulant-like drug. From what I could gather, the most commonly reported side effects were headache, nausea, dizziness, and insomnia. But you can view more specific details in the Nuvigil PDF file linked below:

If you're trying to play it safe, I would suggest starting a trial run at a low dose just to get an idea of how your body responds to it; then working your dose up every so often as needed.

I hope this advice helps!
