Nuvigil.

[Posted to Xanga 11/17/10]

It's my new med. I got it on Saturday and waited a few days to assess the effects before blogging about it.

Nuvigil is armodafinil. This means that it's a part of Provigil, modafinil. Modafinil is a eugeroic, a wakefulness-promoting agent.

So far, it and Provigil are given for narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, depression, and ADHD. I was given it for depression.

I feel...sharper. I notice colors more. Sometimes sounds are clearer. And I've done more things in the past few days than I usually do. Nuvigil and Provigil are said to enhance memory and improve concentration. I can believe it. It's not a miraculous change, to my eye, but I like it, it makes me feel better.

It's a shame it's expensive and I only have two weeks of it.

I'm still frustrated with this place, still feel like there's nothing to do in the evenings, still lonely. But the Nuvigil helps.

Three days until I turn eighteen.

Some more singing

I still don't know how to embed audio in Blogger, so you can listen to this audio here on my Xanga.

I thought one of the songs in chapel today sounded pretty good, so I'm posting it. For context please see this post.

This song is called In Christ Alone. It was the theme for Horizons (Freed-Hardeman's Christian summer camp, which I attended for six years) at some point in recent history. It's one of the newer songs. I'm not sure if we were singing to music or just words, but we wouldn't have needed the music.

I left Facebook temporarily...

...so don't freak out about it if you see that I'm not on your friends list right now.

I'm waiting until Firesheep has blown over to come back. I will not have any drama start because someone got into my Facebook.
