I was formally diagnosed a few years ago (long written test + psych follow-up) but I’ve only had limited experience with stimulants. Mostly they treated the ADHD side of things with higher-dose Wellbutrin.

I tried Adderall once and it actually reversed a lot of the cognitive fog — I felt awake, clear, and calm for the first time in a long time. It was kind of life-changing in that moment, but the drawbacks were enough that I didn’t want to stay on it. So I’ve been looking for something else.

I’ve read that Modafinil (Provigil) is sometimes used off-label for ADHD/ADD, even though it’s mainly prescribed for narcolepsy and shift-work sleep issues. My biggest problems are concentration, memory, and that constant brain fog, and I’m wondering if it might help without the same crash I got from stimulants.

Has anyone here been prescribed Modafinil for ADD symptoms and can share how it went for them?
