Ritalin vs Modafinal for fatigue
Original post in this thread

I've been unable to feel rested for quite some time and am always tired, went to a neuro the other day and mentioned I occasionally take modafinal to work. He gave me a list of tests I need to have done but in the meantime prescribed me Ritalin (well.. mexican generic version) which surprised me since everything I've read, Modafinal which I already have seems to be the better choice.
Has anyone had experience with both Ritalin and Modafinal for 'fatigue' (always tired/sleepy)? I can concentrate fine when I'm not too sleepy so I don't really care about the ADHD uses for Ritalin. I'm starting on the Ritalin tomorrow so I can post my own results as well if anyone is interested.
update: I tried Ritalin for one day and it was total crap. My head felt kinda like buzzing and my stomache felt upset. I got much less done than when I'm just tired. Modafinal so far is the only thing that actually helps.

So you are just relying on green/black tea for the stimulation now?
The bitter orange (synephrine, hordenine, n-methyl-tyramine) I mentioned provides atleast 12-13 hours of alertness and energy without being distracting. I might have 2-3 cups of tea throughout the day.

Ohh, ok. I've tried synephrine and hordenine before. I never really liked the stimulation it gave. It felt too peripheral to me. Never tried N-methyl-tyramine.
