I don't know about about 400mgs provigil making you TOO active, but an aquantaince of mine who suffers from narcolepsy has taken perscription Methamphetamine tabs 'Desoxyn' for 45 years. The SR were discontinued in 2000 so he takes the 5mg IR now, and even with a high dose he stil has to add 600mgs provigal to remaine a satisfactory level of wakefullness.
