I'm curious to know where you have gotten your stats on Provigil satisfaction? I was never officially questioned by the company, nor would my doctor accept that the side effects I suffered were from the med. Instead he cited stress and a sleep schedule that I needed to better regulate--which I couldn't because of the side effects of Provigil.

I've read over and over and over the same sort of story from others taking it. Numerous problems but doctors that still believe it is the wonder drug. I doubt that my doctor even filed the long list of impairments I wrote up for him of my experience on Provigil.

I can not believe that 90+% tolerate it fine. I read more people who discontinue use than who are on it saying they have an improved life from it. If Cephalon is giving you the stats, I'm even less impressed or trustful. There is no way that their clinical trials couldn't have turned up the problems so many of us had on it (such as the bad case of the "stoopids"), yet the listed side effects continue to ignore these problems as being side effects. I'm talking of cognitive impairments, visual impairments, perceptional impairments.... Not the "mild" headaches and nausea listed as potential side effects.
