What could be the side effects of everyday modafinil usage?

Many possible: There are many different side effects possible though, be reassured, that this is a well tolerated medication for most people. Headaches are probably most common and so are gastrointestinal effects like nausea, abdominal discomfort or decreased appetite. Like with many stimulant you could feel anxious, restless jittery, have difficulty sleeping, or have palpitations.
