Nuvigil works wonderfully on my extreme fatigue experienced as one of my most debilitating symptoms of my fibromyalgia syndrome. Nuvigil immediately provided me the energy to perform daily tasks without the monumental "mind over matter" I usually deal with. My rheumatologist put me on 150 mg. However, much to my dismay, I have experienced the most common side effects listed: headaches (s ... Show Full Comment

Nuvigil works wonderfully on my extreme fatigue experienced as one of my most debilitating symptoms of my fibromyalgia syndrome. Nuvigil immediately provided me the energy to perform daily tasks without the monumental "mind over matter" I usually deal with. My rheumatologist put me on 150 mg. However, much to my dismay, I have experienced the most common side effects listed: headaches (splitting) and extreme nausea and burping. As I suffer from gastric erosion and extremely serious IBS, this is unacceptable. Is there any chance these side effects could lessen with time or should I discontinue and call my doctor? I only weigh 97 pounds at 5'4" and I have started to lose weight--a major problem for me freak that I am!

I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night, and suffer from extreme fatigue. Have had a sleep study test done, and no sleep apnea, but do suffer from restless leg syndrome. I have been on Nuvigil 250mg for about 2 months and love it. I have so much more energy and have even lost some weight because of increased energy.

I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night, and suffer from extreme fatigue. Have had a sleep study test done, and no sleep apnea, but do suffer from restless leg syndrome. I have been on Nuvigil 250mg for about 2 months and love it. I have so much more energy and have even lost some weight because of increased energy. Got headaches from it when first started it, but they went away after a few days. One thing I, and my husband, have noticed besides the increased energy, is it makes me talk more than usual. It is great to finally have some energy again, and not feel like taking a nap all the time.

Nuvigil is not as effective as i would like it to be. I have to take a back-up medication to help keep me more alert. Although, i have seen improvements while taking this medication. I am more awake taking it as opposed to not taking it. I have experienced insomnia while being on it as well. Life style changes are necessary while taking Nuvigil.

This med changed my life. I haven't felt this good in years.I have fibromyalgia and the fatigue was unbearable,couldn't sleep at night and it was almost impossible to stay awake during the day. The best way to discribe it is a constant state of cross-eyed and brain dead.The pain just continued to increase daily. Now with Nuvigil 250mgs in the am, and a lunesta before bed, I have my life back.Most days I need no pain meds. at all. I can play with the kids again, cook, garden, and work all day long with ease.I am happy to except the severe cheerfulness after years of pain and misery. What I can't live with, however, is the excessive amounts of saliva, dry mouth may have been a blessing. The constant swallowing is causing throat pain and swelling. To keep from chocking at night from all the extra saliva I've begone sucking on my tongue in my sleep, it's now swollen to the point of not being able to talk and covered in sores. If I stop taking the nuvigil the swelling goes down in 2 or 3 days, but took a week for the sores to heal. Decided to give it one more try, hoping that nuvigil wasn't the sorce, but it only took one dose for the swelling to return. By the second dose I was unable to speak because of the size of my tongue. This medication had really made a difference, the last thing I want to do is stop taking it, but at this point I have no choice.
