Shift Work Sleep Disorde
"I&#039;m a firefighter/paramedic and I&#039;ve been on Nuvigil for about 4 days now and I love it. I have never been a fan of taking medications but when between working 24 hour shifts, school full time and my 3 year old daughter I found myself exhausted all the time. I started drinking energy drinks and they worked but after awhile they got expensive so I started taking caffeine pills. After awhile my body needed the caffeine everyday but I didn&#039;t necessarily need it every day which I didn&#039;t like. I also didn&#039;t like my heart racing with the caffeine. Since starting Nuvigil I haven&#039;t had caffeine at all and I didn&#039;t have much of a withdrawal phase. It has had all the positive effects for me like a stimulant with none of the negative."
