LOL - my housekeeper throwing them away -

I only have about 5 patches left....and the box was so huge - so I took them out of the box and left them on the counter next to all my other meds. Thing is - they are about the size of a post-it note - and VERY thin - like a post-it!

I don't think it was withdrawal, Cherie, but you never know. Either way, I want to get back on them. I imagine if it was w/drawal - it wouldn't feel (I wouldn't feel) exactly as I did before I started using them. I would think the symptoms would be slightly different. But who knows!

Yeah, it is amazing that people who struggle with ADD use a stimulant to calm them down.

Thanks for that information! Housekeepers...I've had mine (the previous ones!) throw things out too and just want to scream! I love the one I have now..

I take between 300-400 mg of Provigil and day and sometimes skip weekends if I have nothing planned. I see no purpose in taking a medication if I am just going to do nothing!

Since I am in a clinical trial, I cannot mess with my meds without permission, but I am going to ask the neuro in charge about this one. The trial ends next Tuesday and maybe we can do some adjusting!

My mom had some sort of medication patch a few years ago. My dad put them in an old prescription bottle (label removed) and wrote the name on the med on the bottle with a Sharpie marker. Kept it with their rather impressively large collection of medications.
