I drink coffee and take provigil (modafinil). I have to cut my coffee to half decaf or I get to shaky and irritable. Provigil does not do that to me at all, I have been taking it for 4 years, anywhere from 200-400mg daily in two divided doses. I have not tried to discontinue it as it elevates my mood and makes me more inclined to be social,>>>
I don't know if my lack of sociality is a consequence of Provigil, or a consequence of my life circumstances, or perhaps both. I do know with a fairly high rate of confidence that Provigil is less socially motivating than other stims, but this is probably due to the differential effects of Provigil as a stim (it helps ADHD much, much more than somnolence and fatigue).
but I know if I try to quit caffeine I get the migraine from the lowest pit of hell.>>are your migraines caffeine-withdrawal-induced? I seem to get a kind of migraine associated with my sleep disorder (not an unusual association) and I usually take a Vivarin (200 mg caffeine) to keep me awake (as sleep at inappropriate times is responsible for the migraines) and to relieve the migraine itself. Sorry for writing so much..
