This med is of tremendous help to me. Helped me get back to work. It really helped my out. Everybody who knows my condition are 100% its the med that had the biggest impact on me.
Do you mean modafinil, known as Provigil here in the U.S? In the short-term it did make me feel great. It gave me energy focus and improved my mood. But as it wore off, I would just crash and get depressed. It's positive effects wore off after a couple weeks anyway.
As long as you have something to take care of an anxiety disorder, it is probably OK to take this. Otherwise, I would leave it alone.
Yes i am talking about Provigil, sorry doesnt have any effect on Allergies. It helped me a lot. I've been taking it for 4 months or so and it got me back to work. The effect seems to last. I am taking Zoloft for my anxiety/obsessions so i didn't notice any exacerbation of my symptoms in fact it reduce my anxiety and obsessions and made me feel more able to get throught this...
