A member asked:

Despite being on thyroid medication, i am having significant trouble concentrating (never been the case previously). worth trying modafinil?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps, but: There are many other causes of difficulty concentrating including anxiety and depression. You should consult with a psychiatrist to have an evaluation and get a full picture and context for what you are struggling with to help determine the treatment for your symptoms.
