modafinil and anxiety for ways to reduce anxiety
while taking modafinil, skip down to the section Coping With Modafinil-Induced
Anxiety. Please also share your thoughts if you have personal experience with
modafinil and anxiety. Modafinil, without a doubt, can cause anxiety. Modafinil
made me anxious until I learned how to manage it, and it once caused a
full-fledged panic attack. Overall, the drug is beneficial to me, and I will
continue to purchase modafinil from AfinilExpress. So I devised some techniques
to help me cope with anxiety while on modafinil. Modafinil increases adaptive
stress by stimulating specific circuits in the HPA axis14. If you've ever taken
an antihistamine, such as Benedryl, you know how drowsy they can be. Modafinil
has the opposite effect, increasing wakefulness by increasing histamine rather
than blocking it. Modafinil decreases GABA while increasing glutamate,
dopamine, and orexin, in addition to histamine. Many factors influence whether
or not you will experience anxiety while taking modafinil, including your
baseline level of anxiety, genotype, and environment. - Pillspalace
