Day 5 of Armodafinil
Poor sleep. Could not stay awake and so slept from 8pm to 9:30pm. I took care of animals and went to sleep again at 1:15am. Was up again at 2:45 (dogs were being noisy). I had a night sweat over my head and shoulders at that time. I dozed but didn't really sleep from then until 5am. I was still having a sweat on my neck and shoulders. At that point I stayed up until 7:30. I then slept until 9. So that's 1.5+1.5+1.5=4.5hrs with some dozing.
Despite my trouble sleeping and all of the sweats, I didn't have the usual sinus troubles. I still had only one nostril fully open when lying on my side but I wasn't having to blow my nose and didn't feel clogged.
Overnight I could feel my legs, slightly achy.
Calves feeling tight swollen but less than last couple of days.
Elimination in the morning and in the afternoon.
This was a low day. It was hard to stay awake and I wasn't focused at all. I didn't even try to work. It was difficult for me to get out the door at 4pm to get my next week's armodafinil.
Nausea was mainly in the late afternoon and evening on a relatively empty stomach.
Later in the evening, about 6:30, I began to feel decent, but I was still pretty sleepy.
I'm reasonably confident that I'll be able to continue to take nuvigil. I'll take it for 3 mos and then will inquire about increasing the dose.
