"i have bipolar disorder and i&#039;ve tried many medications before we found what worked without nasty side effects. i was put on risperdone and celexa to treat it, which i still  take. i was diagnosed with sleep apnea and narcolepsy which my doctor put me on nuvigil. i did not know nuvigil could be a treatment for treating bipolar until i read about it on this site. i feel very upbeat with the nuvugil and not tired all the time and i feel happy again. even though i take other medicines for bipolar, i feel since i started the nuvigil i feel even better."
