Kim has been on Provigil for years, it's a real HUGE help for her.

She started out on 100 and was moved up to 200 a few months later, this was maybe about 9 years ago. She takes it in the morning and it gives her more "day". There are no down sides to this, unless you accidentally take one before bed

This also makes me think of something we recently learned about caffine. It turns out that cryptic CPn is a possible explanation of caffine crash or induced "MS" symptoms. I'm a caffine user, I need caffine. Some MS'ers have a unique caffine profile wherein you get a temporary burst, but then crash hard. (not the caffine addict profile) Kim was like that and it turned out to be CPn related. Just sharing.

I like Provigil. I only take it occasionally, though. I'm glad I had my rx filled (while I had insurance) all those times when I really didn't need to. that stuff is close to $900 for a 30 day supply!

it's not bad. it doesn't make you nervous or anything, at least me anyway.
i've tried it but it wore off by the afternoon and that's when i'm most tired.

i was told not to take it past 1 or 2 o'clock because i wouldn't be able to sleep at nite. i honestly could drink a cup of coffee and have the same effect. but, it was helpful.

Provigil
I have been taking Provigil as needed for over 10 years. I have never paid over $100 US dollars for this drug. Even if I don't need it, I still get it refilled and store it in my closet. It has a long shelf life. I'm using some now from 2006.
