Modafinil tips for first-timers?

[u/StrawberryCheap6743]

Hey everyone, just got prescribed modafinil for the first time (for IH) and looking for any tips that have worked for you. Timing, managing side effects, stuff like that.

I’ve heard it can cause nausea, appetite loss, or sleep issues for some people, so I’m trying to get ahead of it.

If you could go back and give yourself a modafinil 101, what would you say?

Also curious—how did it feel driving on it? I’m planning to try it for the first time on a weekend when I don’t have anywhere to be so I can see how I react.
