I really have a hard time with driving. I am truly afraid to get behind the wheel lately because I do the autopilot thing without knowing it. I loose parts of my day all the time(the day is over and I have no concept of what I've been doing all day) and why I havent gotten everything on my list done. I am upset right now because of the provigil. I was taking metadate and thought it wasn't working well (had an episode while driving and drove several miles unawares). My sleep doc gave me adderal, which was torture. So I called him back and he gave me samples of provigil to take. I wish I had never complained. Now I REALLY am afraid to drive. I am having a hard time sitting at this computer. I called him back today because I am afraid to drive or work like this. He said to increase the provigil to 400mg. My head hurts and I have been overly emotional all week. I don't want to take this anymore! I told the doc I just won't drive if I have to but I need the metadate to stay focused. My thoughts are scattered my house is a wreck and I can't seem to get anything done. I'm sorry-I know I am whining but this is hard! Things weren't perfect with the metadate but at least I was functional.
I do understand perfectly everything you described above, it's like you're describing me again. I know it will get better-I'm just whiny today
