> I looked it up. Provigil won't cause acne. No mention of anxiety reduction. If it has reduced your anxiety this would certainly be atypical.Doesn't sound all that far fetched too me. I know that my Social Anxiety gets worse when I feel tired and weak (especially if I'm very hungry, too). It's hard to be outwardly assertive and mentally self-assured when I feel "worn down". But overstimulation is bad, too. So for me, it's a real balancing act.
Elise, do you suffer from anxiety in general?
As you know, Provigil is pretty new to the U.S., and its potential effects in mental disorders other than narcolepsy (the official indication) have yet to become clear.
Please keep us apprised of your provigil experience -- I'm very interested.Thanks,
Rick
