In reply to Provigil - twice a day okay?, posted by CindyLou on November 22, 2002, at 15:06:08
Taking 100 mg twice a day won't hurt at all. In fact that is exactly what my doc told me to do in the beginning. I took 100 mg 6 am, and another 100 mg around 11 am.
Now I take the 200 mgs at 6 am, and once in a while if I'm tired before noon, I take another 100 mgs. I found for me that I can't take it after noon, if I do, I have trouble going to sleep at night.***********************************************

This morning I took 100 mg., and I had the crash affect around 1 p.m. so I took another 100 mg. and I feel a bit better. Does this make any sense?
