Across 222 first-hand reports, people mentioned a side effect 37 times (about 17 per 100 reports). The most common: anxiety, insomnia, jitteriness. User reports show what people notice — they can't tell you whether Armodafinil is safe for you.
“Felt "wakefulness" in the simplest sense of the word. That's actually the best I can describe it, so it does **exactly** what it purports to do.”
“I experienced huge focus and drive—I rattled through my work tasks back-to-back. Great mental clarity and recall.”
“Armodafinil is far superior for me- smooth, long lasting alertness and no crash.”
“Modafinil helped me out to some extent, but it wasn't what I was looking for.”
“I thought R-modafinil worked much better for me. However, after a couple weeks of taking it I went back on racemic. It seems to work just as well now, without side effects like headaches.”
“I use armodafinil now with Rx... it works really well for mine.”
Conclusion: We believe our analysis is a fairer analysis of the risk-benefit profile of this indication. Clinicians may want to use this data to balance the risks and benefits on a case-by-case basis with their patients.
