Is Increased Nuvigil Dosage Effective In Treatment Of Sleep Disorder?

Should I ask my sleep doctor to boost my prescription of Nuvigil from 150mg to 250 mg? I am 38, Nuvigil is my only medication. No signs or symptoms other than shift deprivation and Apnea. The pill seems to wear off around 12:30pm if I take it at 7am. It doesn t feel like it should give out so quickly. Am I doing something wrong?

HI
Well come to HCM
Better to control your self instead, because this would be more advisable than to ask the doctor to increase the dose of drug because there would be no limit for this then once the dose increased soon then you would be looking for more increasing dose, and this is not good idea, take care, have a nice day.
