Not at all true. 200mg, a medium dose, keeps you alert and awake all day, with little side effects. I've taken 400mg, but it made me anxious, and kept me awake for a much longer time than needed.

I wonder what dose he was on today.

Apologies, I think I misinterpreted what you said.

I would agree, if you take too much, or take it too late, it will keep you awake, but if you use it properly, it works fine.

If you don't mind me asking, what is wrong, is he narcoleptic?

He has got MS. Not too serious and he still has more energy than most folk without, but he has been working to set up a business for 2 years and he has to put in some long days. He is lucky his GP prescribes it as some won't. He keeps it to a minimum.

Is it worse for you than coffee?

Tbh, it only keeps you awake if you take it in excessive quantities, or too late in the day.

No, when did I say that? It works fine for him, no side effects, just lets him function more like he used to.

I thought you said it doesn't work on him, unless he took it late in the day or in excess?

100mg - 200mg is a normally prescribed dose, although a quack friend I used to play cricket with has prescribed it at 400mg for sleep apnea patients of his.

I will give it a go. There is always the risk I'll post on CUK for 15 hours straight.

I dont think we differ essentially, it will keep you awake sure, but the advice is generally take it in the morning, you can generally still get a night's sleep. Depends what you call a moderate dose, my 14 stone hubby is advised to take 100mg, by his Gp , does him very well to keep going all day and sleep that night. He wouldnt take more unless it was some exceptional situation.

It keeps you awake. Why would you want some?

I take it if I have some long distance driving to be done, and it keeps you fresh and alert.

I'd dare say if you were revising for an exam, it would be cracking, as well as during an exam, but I digress

We've done this.

Is it any good? Shall I get some?

As with many medicines, I think it's wise to know what's wrong with you before finding out if a medicine is 'any good'?
