welcome G.... i totally understand about having to take the provigil to counteract the effects of everything else..i also am on lyrica...and have no energy to do much..i was wondering why i was not losing weight ,as i eat hardly anything anymore, i am still falling asleep sitting up most nights and in the morning (after i take all my meds) i still fall asleep for 2-3 hrs..the provigil helps in the afternoon. i get to do at least one thing a day..then sit down and nod off again.starting to have severe twitches in my hands..holding something one mminute and then it is either flying thru the air or being dropped on the floor...very scarey..have no control of it....don't want to add it to the list of all that is going wrong..but as usual have no choice.. wishing everyone a peaceful and pain-free new year...linda
