Hi there!

I too had trouble with the Provigil - I started with 150mg in the am and 50mg at lunch but suffered from some of the worst headaches I ever had! My doc suggested 100mg in the am only and see what happened. Well, it was like being in a haze all day and through to the evening! Had trouble staying awake constantly, even when kept at work! He then changed my meds to Ritalin but that was 100 times worse! The only thing missing from my personality was a broom so that I can fly high in the sky! I am now taking 10mg of Dexdrine in the am and so far so good - no side effects whatsoever but I find it wears off around 1pm - am seeing my doc next week to increase the Dex.

Maybe you are reacting just like me to the Provigil and Ritalin although I never took both at the same time! I would suggest telling this to your doc and maybe try something else!

Take Care!
Chantal
