Bad Headache
Modafinil & Energy Drinks

DOSE:
200 mg oral Modafinil
BODY WEIGHT: 185 lb
I have taken Provigil periodically for many years mainly to get through long work meetings, late nights out, etc. This year I was in New Orleans and had an of opportunity to ride in a Mardi Gras parade. I figured 200 mg of Provigil was perfect to keep me energized over the 5 hour ride.

I wasn't on any other drug and swallowed the Modafinil at 7:00 PM. By around 9:00, I was kind of dragging even with all the action going on so decided to drink 2 regular Redbulls to endure the rest of the ride. I felt extremely alert afterward and had fun, but on the ride home my head began pounding like I had a severe hangover. My right eye was throbbing and it didn't go away until I was able to finally go to sleep at around 2:00 AM after taking a 10mg Valium.

My conclusion is Provigil is awesome but I will never try to supplement with energy drinks again.
