Default Provigil

is a "strange" drug ... per previously cited info/Links esp. www.crazymeds.org site .
as I do recall from trying years ago, Provigil, did help w/ daytime sleepiness --which for me now is more Fatigue tho I do fall asleep if/when i sit, esp wathcing Tv. Provigil made my sleep problems (NOT sleeping at Nite) much worse... so that is main reason I stopped that drug + some other info (i can't recall now) along w/ other adverse side fx.

there was a question if I did have narcolepsy--due more to drop attacks that manifested as Catalplexy, which supposedly only occurs w/ Narcolepsy.
Drop attacks continue (w/out def. DX) as does Fatigue & other problems.

I'm again trying to deal w/ some of those w/ Vitamins , supplements, Herbs.

B12 (as Methyl B12) -- for fatigue, & other BRain /neuro problems/

Magnesium --for Headaches...

I"m trying Kava , as herbal tea, for sleep & pain.

and some others ....
there's lots of great info at Forum for Vitamins, Herbs, suplemts-here @NT--check out or go there to ask/post specifics.


but I'm still continuing to search for other options--alternatives ---as well as try/use RX & other things as seems appropriate, etc.
BOTOX is one--for HA which may be my biggest issue recently, but it's hard to isolate ONE ting-- Fatigue, sleep problems, other pain /issues -- all play roles.... and create challenges and difficulties in daily life/living.

we are each different, unique--- and works works for one may be anothers poison.....

wishing all the Best....


Jeffn.... think I'll have to get me one of those helmets too!! can't afford any more dings in dis head...




I do feel NEuroFeedback is a great option but also had problems w/ accessing in my area (same w/ good CraioSacral practioner)
