Hi guys:
Just wondering if anyone has experience with long
term Provigil use. Does it automatically burn out?
Do you have to raise your dose? What about the anxiety?
Hoping to benefit from others experience.
Thanks!

This is the strangest med for me, didn't feel a thing until 300 mg and even then it didn't always work. I mean one day I have energy then the next nothing. I took 600 mg one day when I absolutely had to be somewhere and never made it out of bed! Taking it for a long time seemed to give me brain fog to.

So I only take it once in a while now and it seems to work better for me this way. Most days 400-600 mg of caffeine is what I take, it's not a comfortable "up" but at least it's dependable.

Thanks--
It's really weird for me too--and leaves me with this compulsion to take more even when it stops working. But that may be just my wonderful addictive personality kicking in.
