Dabbo, we were talking about this on the RSD site...and I just started taking provigil for the same reason. I too would zone out and find myself actually ASLEEP at the wheel while driving o the freeway. My doctor agreed that I needed something...and I do have to say its helped tremendously. Please...get int the doctro. If you are sleeping the required number of hours, then it's DANGEROUS for you to be on the road, and going thru your routine like this..especially with you having to commute back and forth to work.

Doc also told me to get the Vitamin B complex from Sundown - the sublingual kind - and take it before meals. Between the provigil and the Vitamin B, I must say that I've felt soooo much better. I haven't fallen asleep while driving, I havr been abe to CONCENTRATE, I dont fall asleep at my desk while working, I dont sit down at home and suddenly fall asleep. It's amazing.

If you DO get on that med though...don't take it after NOON. I found I cannot sleep if I do. I normally take 1/2 of a 200 mg tablet when I wake up at 5 a.m. and then another WHOLE ONE around lunchtime at 11:30 a.m. Then I'm good for the day.

Believe me...I tried EVERYTHING before asking for "another pill" - and nothing worked. I just couldnt take it anymore. It was dangerous to me and to the other ppl on the road. I cojldnt chance it.

Provigil and vit B has been my "lifesaver." I don't think your doc will have a problem rx'ing it for you.
