Provigil does affect the CNS, but it would be rare for it to do this. My theory is that maybe I already had ataxia and the Provigil was aggravating it. (MRI results in next Tuesday.) It's depressing though, because boy did I love that drug. But why would I need 12 hours of sleep a night anyway, and even then still feel fatigued? Maybe there is something wrong with my brain. I mean, I know I'm not depressed (no offense to depressed people), because I always have stuff I want to do, ya know?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?


Wish I could be of help. Why were prescribed the Provigil??
You might try calling the doctors office. They probably already have the results. If you talk nice; (like let it be known the stress the waiting is causing) the doctor's nurse might give you the results of your MRI before Tuesday. Worth a try.
