Modafinil helps me a lot with staying awake and being more productive during the day, but I’ve noticed it also makes me feel more tense and anxious. That constant “on edge” feeling ends up reducing some of the benefits for me.

Has anyone else experienced this and found ways to ease the anxiety/tension without losing the positive effects? I’d prefer not to stop the medication completely if possible. Would appreciate any tips or approaches that worked for you.

Took my first dose this morning. I immediately fell back asleep for an hour and had to drag myself out of bed (exactly why I started it — I can never get going in the mornings).

I thought it was a bust since I still feel sluggish and drank my coffee 3 hours late.

BUT… my hEDS body aches and pains are almost completely gone. I feel super comfy, like I took muscle relaxers! Can’t find anyone else mentioning this (seems to be the opposite for most).

Anyone else experience this?
