Hi Blondi! Glad to see you posting again!

I have a prescription for Provigil. Although I don't take it everyday....actually I haven't taken it in over a month....it does help with the fatigue and sleepiness when it hits.

I tolerate it well, although I know some folks who are very sensitive to meds cannot take it or have to take a reduced dose. The only side effect I have ever noticed was a slight headache but that went away after a few days.

It works well for me when I need it. Luckily, I haven't needed it in a while.

Good luck to you...I hope it's not sleep apnea.
