In reply to football: Advice on Provigil, posted by antigua on April 13, 2007, at 10:35:21
Hi antigua!
I've taken Provigil for a year or so. In my experience, it doesn't make me feel revved up or even stimulated. I just feel awake and alert once I've taken it. I'm not at all a morning person usually, so if I can be wide awake and even smiling and cracking jokes with my husband at 7:00 a.m., this might just be a miracle drug.
It also eliminated my need for afternoon or early evening naps. It didn't interfere with nighttime sleep, either. In fact, Provigil seems to help me keep a pretty regular sleep/wake cycle.
The only side effect I've experienced was a headache for about a week or two when I first started and again when I went from 100 mg to 200 mg.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
Namaste
