Hi Vicki,
You know, I tried Provigil a couple of times, and both times I felt extremely sick, kind of hungover. Nauseated, headache, and no energy whatsoever. The first time I tried 200 mg. The second time I tried 100 mg. Same result.BUT GOOD NEWS!! My pdoc talked me into trying 50 mg, and i just started a couple days ago. I notice a big difference!
I'm glad to hear it works for you too.
I also started Lamictal a few days ago, and so far so good. It does seem to make me very edgy and irritable though. But that's more manageable than being a zombie.
Thanks!
cindy
