Provigil Experience Update

Posted by Vern on June 04, 1999 at 10:38:34:

Well Folks, I've been on Provigil for 4 months now & have been slowly, steadily increasing the dosage due to the fact that it would work great at first then I'd start falling asleep in the afternoon, so I'd increase by 1/2 a pill. I'm now at the suggested Maximum dosage of 400mg (2 pills) & yesterday I fell asleep at about 1:30 in the afternoon. Oh Well!
So, what I'm trying today is - 200mg in the morning, then 200mg at lunch - lets see how that works in the afternoon as well as how well I sleep tonight. I don't think the nighttime sleeping will be a problem since I'M falling asleep in the afternoon anyway! I've also been quite Spacey in the afternoons when I'm not sleepy. Maybe this Noon dosage will eliminate this. I'll keep you posted.
Anyone out there having Good/Bad results with Provigil? If so, how are you taking your meds & how well or bad is it working? One thing I've read here is people having problems with Provigil & it seems like a common scenario is that they are taking other meds also. I wonder if that is a big part of the problem? Due to a Knee surgery I'm taking 800mg Motrin 3 times a day now & I'm wondering if that's not part of my problem with Provigil. Anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks for any feedback you can give.
Vern
