Hi Vicky,
That is great to hear. Very encouraging.
I take less Provigil because Nardil even at mild dose enhances effect, but I often take a 2nd (smaller than am) dose of Provigil around noon myself.
For me, the doses are around 50mg AM, and 25 noon, but again the Nardil seems to enhance the effect so otherwise my doses would probably be higher.
Anyhow, thanks for the feedback. Good news.
