Hey Barb
Provigil has saved my job - I would no longer be able to work if not for the drug.

I take 1/2 pill in the morning (a 200mg pill).


ALSO - I have had very bad reactions to medications also - I too was scared to take it. I went blind for 4 days due to a reaction to Topamax so I totally relate to your fear of having a bad reaction.

The others gave good suggestions - you will never know how you will react to the drug until you try it since we are all so different - taking a very small dose and giving it a try sounds like a good start.

BTW - I took a whole pill when I first started on Provigil - my heart pounded - I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off !!! It was a little scary, I called the doctor and then tried cutting it in half and it did the trick !!! Had I not been so desperate (in terms of my job) I'm sure I would never have given it a second chance but I'm so thankful that I did.

Provigil and Imitrex (for my migraines) have kept me going so far !!!!
