My biggest mistake when I first started taking artvigil / armodafinil
When I first started Artvigil, I thought it was a “take it and be productive” kind of pill. Biggest mistake.
I took 150mg late morning, barely slept the night before, no proper food, barely any water. Thought it would just carry me through the day.
It did… but with headaches, zero appetite, and then completely wrecked sleep that night. Next day was worse.
took me a while to realise it’s not just about the pill, it’s about how you take it.
What I do differently now:
take it early morning only
hydrate way more (electrolytes help a lot)
eat something light before or with it
don’t rely on it if sleep is already messed up
Also noticed it works best when you already have something to focus on. It won’t magically give you motivation.Once I fixed these, the experience became way smoother.Curious what mistakes others made starting out...
