ACCEPTED

Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy)-

Modafinil (or "Provigil") has many of the same theraputic properties as Adderall, and if you are taking Adderall Narcolepsy, you may want to talk to your doctor about switching if you are experiencing side effects from Adderall.

Technically Modafinil is prescribed for Narcolepsy, but many doctors do prescribe it "off label" for ADHD and some sleep disorders. If you take Adderall for one of these problems, you will need to discuss the pros/cons of switching to Modafinil with him/her.

There are some reports that Modafinil does curb your appetite, but this is not listed as a side effect. A change in libido is also not listed as a side effect.
