> I'm getting into some unknown territory here. I just took my first pill (100mg) about an hour ago. Anyone have any experience to share, or know anything about how this drug actually works? (I've heard two not-necessarily-conflicting explations.)
Hi Elizabeth,
I dont know much about Provigil but apparently it works somewhat by stimulating Alpa1 adrenergic receptors. I know that part of the net effect is downregulation of GABA A and increased levels of L-glutamate. It's action on dopamine is very weak and dose dependant. I have been thinking of trying this new med for my ADD for awhile now. Let me know if it helps with concentration...Sorry I couldnt give you much info...you probably knew all this already.Good luck!
