Hi tbi-survivor,

I had horrific headaches on Provigil. I also felt very spaced out.
Everyone is different though. Many people do well on Provigil.

I have felt more like myself on Adderall, as far as cognitive functioning goes.

With any/all stimulants, I have to watch for signs of agitation. If/when those signs show up, I discontinue the stimulant (if I had been taking one that day).

My doctor and I had chosen the short-acting formulations, whenever possible.
This way, I could choose to have the assistance of a stimulant early in the day and could choose the hours. (Yet, not daily.) That way, I did not overdo and the med did not interfere with my (messed up) sleep.

I will not use any stimulant on a daily basis.
I do not want to get into becoming addicted.
I also feel like there is not enough info. about the safety/effects of long-term use (of any of the stimulants).

There are lots of options for stimulating meds. Many more options than I have mentioned.

Thanks for the well wishes. I hope you feel better soon, as well.

Warmly,
DejaVu
