Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
"I am currently taking 60mg of Cymbalta, 3mg Xanax XR, and three weeks ago added 100 mg of modafinil. Before the modafinil I would wake in the morning feeling so physically exhausted it led me to tears. My brain fog was a mess, my thinking was disorganized. The modafinil has been a miracle for me and thus far no side effects. Although, I find it does not last the full ten to twelve hours as suggested. I am really clear and functioning well for five to six. Hey, I will take the five to six over having the alternative. Have appointment with Dr. next week to follow up. This is the first time since my diagnosis (12 yrs ago) that I actually feel hopeful. My prayers go out to all of you who suffer with this complex syndrome."
