I have been trying to get my neuro to prescribe me the provigil for a while now..but my insurance comp. will not accept it. so they gave me Amantadine...I have had provigil in the past and if it makes you too hyper you can always take 1/2 at a time to see if it helps...The Amantadine doesn't do much for me. I work nights and wind up sleeping most of the day away and then going to work.. Good luck to you linda
