Was perscribed modafinil for paxil induced fatigue. I have a school exam coming up in 2 weeks was wondering if its ok to take everyday until then. And if theres tolerance or withdrawal.

NAT,

I am not familiar with this Rx...

Did your doctor not give you clear instructions on dosage and duration of your med?

If you can't get a consult with your prescribing doctor...Try your pharmacist...as they can often answer many Rx questions for you.

Hoping you get the results from the medication you seek, and the answers you need!

I took it years ago when I had a bout with chronic fatigue. It was good, but switched to adderall and much better results. Curious about Paxil......how is that working for you aside from the fatigue? Does the modafinil offset that so you can be functional? Just curious.

Paxil works great for me! I take it for anxiety/ sleep anxiety. After 3 weeks, it took effect for me. My insomina was gone and I could sleep without anxiety. No side effects except the fatigue. The fatigue has gotten better since started taking paxil at 6pm. When I first started paxil, it made My sleeping worse so I took in the morning. Now I can take it at night, which I think is helping with the fatigue.

Modafinil (100mg) didn't really do anything to me. My pdoc said I can take 200mg, I didnt try it yet.

But definitely moving the paxil to night is helping.

I'm happy to hear that. I hope your sleep just gets better and better and better.
