Hi @donaldcoomer28

How are you doing today?

Thank you for getting this discussion started. I will tag a few members to see if they have any experience with using Modafinil for bipolar treatment

@Machyelle @420FlowerChild @MimiLindsey @sunnysideup @Rockinrobynne @Sofiacastillo @John7979 @Rissa1972 @Art813 @Terternat @Neatie @Inpruvi @HALBEL @OwenOchoa @Zoebarr @Jlbekfi123 @AliceGrace84 @Suzanne95 @Echointhestars @LICladee @Lavarda @beepbeep3 @Jeannbean77 @kgumus @Iliketurtles83 @morgueticia @ricksarnold @LindaSherrill

Modafinil also known as Provigil is used to treat sleepiness. Have you used it in an adjunctive treatment to treat bipolar disorder? What are your pros/cons?

Take care,

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
