I just wanted to share my experience with Modafinil (the generic of Provigil) and see if anyone else is using this for PCS symptoms.

Since my 2nd concussion 1.5 years ago, I've been struggling to find something to help the brain fog and dizziness caused by my PCS.

I tried many supplements, vitamins, completely changing my diet, exercising, Acupuncture and a Chiropractor. All of which helped a little bit to help cope each day and feel good. But nothing has "fixed" my PCS or been a tremendous help. They just take the edge off.

Then on my last visit to my Neurologist, I told him I was really having a problem with brain fog. For me, that's an especially big problem because I run a business that many people are counting on. That means I can't take workers comp and take the needed rest everyone recommends.

This time he prescribed 100mg of Provigil per day. It's off label so that means it's not covered by insurance. At $1000. for 30 200mg pills (split dosage), that's a bit of a problem.

I found some Modafinil online and have been trying it for 1 week. So far, it's been a miracle drug for me. I'm cautiously optimistic, but if this keeps up, this could be the answer to others in a similar situation. Having to work and move on while dealing with PCS is a whole different game than just trying to heal.

He also recommended brain training. He said he's seen real results of people recovering from PCS with brain training from a trained psychologist. For now, I'll try lumosity and see how that goes first.

Any others here have experience with Provigil and PCS?
