> not sure yet, but I have 4 days off work coming up and don't plan on taking it. I'll let you know how it goes next thurs to sunday. When I have skipped it in the past for a couple of days I'm just really tired again but otherwise feel fine. I'll let you know next mondayWell it's monday morning and I just had 4 days off work.
To try and save some money, I didn't take modafinil for 4 days. The only thing I experienced was lethargy and tiredness which returned very quickly by thursday afternoon. I didn't have any plans so I just watched TV and pottered around the house. I tried visiting my sister on Saturday but I only lasted there about an hour. I was too tired to talk and engage in conversation so I had to head back home. I had trouble concentrating too and my sister said I didn't look well, actually my other sister that I live with said I looked quite pale.
I didn't feel any physical withdrawal effects like I have with other meds, just a return to how I was before I started taking it. I took my dose about an hour ago and I can feel it kicking in. After only 4 days off it, It feels like it did when I first started taking it, a little strange, but fine.
