Dear Lybrate user, at your age, memory problems like amnesia are not common. Many young people are having problems with memory. These problems are either they are too busy or due to anxiety and stress. Busy people use organizers or employ a personal assistant because they can't remember every task. You need to understand this. If you still say, you are having memory problems, we need to check your memory using memory test. If you want more of my help in this regard, please contact me. Take care.

If you suddenly stop using this medication, you may have withdrawal symptoms (such as shaking, sweating, chills, nausea, vomiting, confusion). To help prevent withdrawal, your doctor may lower your dose slowly. Withdrawal is more likely if you have used modafinil for a long time or in high doses.

Many males have report erectile dysfunction after consistent modafinil use. As with many prescription drugs, the sexual side effect are rarely discussed in-depth. The drug typically inhibits a man’s sex drive. Thus, one round of sex may seem marginally entertaining, but going again and again will likely sound unfit.
