I think I might be because you are on a low dose.

I too feel shaky on Provigil, but not anxious. That's a blessing.
> Maybe you could try splitting up your 200mg into two doses, or it could be that you will need 200mg twice a day. I believe that is well within the dosage guidelines.
200mg twice a day is the maximum dose as far as I know. I don't want to be on the max.dose of any medicine. I reserve the maximum of all medications as an emergency measure.
> I take Provigil as augmentation of EMSAM. Are you on just Provigil?I take it to combat Luvox sedation. Have been on a good dose of Luvox (150mg daily) to say, so far Luvox has been the best antidepressant for me in terms of efficacy and lack of significant sexual side effects.
BTW, how long have you been on Provigil? I have just started taking it.
Best of luck to you too
