Default MG and Modafinil
Does anyone know if it's safe to take Modafinil if you have MG?

No idea. If you have been dx'd with MG - check with your neuro.

Looks to be safe, I'd double-check with your neuro and pharmacist though, there may be more recent studies than the ones in this paper...

No, but my pain doctor wanted me to try it and my old neuro didn't object if that makes you feel better. He is, of course, my old neuro for a reason, though.

Unfortunately, my insurance company said I wasn't diagnosed with anything that should cause me to be tired and they wouldn't pay for it (and its really expensive out of pocket), so I never tried it.
