No, I've never had to wean down, I can just stop it at any time. I have forgotten to take it, and felt the difference during the day. I usually will fall asleep, or need to rest.
Provigil doesn't stay in the body for very long, probably about 4 to 6 hours I think it is, you may need to check that out for sure.
My life is so much better with provigil in it...You sound extra sensitive to it, so I don't think I'd take a whole pill either. My doctor told me when I first started it that it could be cut in half or what ever, even a forth, so I did do that at first.
What did your doctor explain to you about it? Maybe he can prescribe a lower dose for you.
You may want to check out Provigil.com
it has a lot of information, and you can even google it to get other medical peoples views on it.
Love Lizzie
