Default Nuvigil is making me feel tired, stupid & unmotivated

Ugh.

Nuvigil was a lifesaver when I began 4.5 months ago. I felt alert, energetic and just plain "normal." What a wonderful sensation!

Now I find I'm tired, irritable and stupid.

Its affecting my sleep.

I'm depressed.

I go thru the motions, but I'm apathetic.

I don't clean the house. I don't fix dinner. I made cookies with my grandson yesterday (usually a joy) and it was an effort.

I've had some really bad achy days.

I can't think. I play a quick trivia game daily and hadn't even realized I missed participating yesterday until right now.

I haven't prepared my Sunday School lesson for tomorrow.

I have a rash around my mouth. (Yes, I know about the danger).

I just got a new Rx filled, but the pharmacist gave me the wrong (lesser) dosage, so I haven't opened it.

Have been taking half a 250 mg. pill daily (very expensive stuff!)

I think I'll forego tomorrow's dose and see what happens. I'll probably sleep all day.

I haven't found much conversation about this drug in NT, so thought I'd post.

Methinks I'm worse off than when I started taking it. Funny thing is, I began it to get rid of the lethargy and brain fog -- now its back.

Sure was fun while it lasted!
