Suggest Substitute Medicine For Modafinil
Dear doctor. I take 150 mg of Modafinil every day for my psychiatric problem (prescribed). But modafinil makes me shaky and i face a bit of anxiety interacting with people. Could you kindly suggest a medicine to supplement modafinil so that i am done away with the shakiness and anxiety. Also, most of the anxiolytics have sexual side effects. It would be great if the supplement you suggest doesn t have such a side effect. Thank You
