I expected it to do something it couldn't do. It's not for keeping you going on 4 hours sleep a night and working 80 hours a week. I forget dosage. 200 mg sounds familiar.

I tried caffeine pills too. I think I'm immune to their effects - and I'm only trying to work four hrs a week and sleep 80 hrs a night.

:D

But I can drink 4 cups of Bob Evans coffee in half an hour and not notice.

Provigil, when it did help, was not enough to do what you need. But it was enough for me at least not to have to debate whether I really had to go potty bad enough that it was worth walking *all the way* to the bathroom.

It sux being so tired that's an issue.

I had to fight, too. It was worth it. They said I had to try ritalin and the other ADD drug. I wrote a long letter, followed with a long phone call both about the affects and warnings of those meds and why I should not be taking them. I got my provigil and an apology too.
