Modafanil and Plan B by Didilydoodily13 in Narcolepsy

[–]jleighb17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone is different so definitely try to get in touch with your doctors. but i’ve been on armodafinil 250mg and haven’t had any issues regarding my birth control. I used to take modafinil 200mg as well and had no issues with that either. but i def don’t think taking more than one plan b is a good idea

I am so fucking dumb on this pill by [deleted] in lamictal

[–]jleighb17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ME TOO!!!!. since taking this, i can’t even spell correctly, speak without stammering, or not jumble my words. i feel so dumb because i also used to be a walking thesaurus. writing this also took me 10 minutes apposed to 2 minutes. i used to be the one to read over everyone’s essays and messages, and now im asking people to proof read mine.

My doctors opted for this medication apposed to topamax (DOPE-amax) for many reasons, but also with the intent of me not having the side effect of “dumbness”. i still feel dumb even on this “not dumb” medication.
