"my depression is responsible for a sleeping disorder that makes it very hard for me to stay awake and functional: i have some kind of hypersomnia instead of the regular insomnia complaints patients have. even though there are people that respond nicely to modafinil, i didn&#039;t feel anything while associating 200mg of it to my ssri. i couldn&#039;t notice any improvement to my sleeping cycle or to my concentration. side effects were absent too. unfortunately it was not for me."
