Hi there.. I am on Provigil and I have been for the past 2 years.. I also had headaches at the begining, but they did fade away and they were not as bad as the, headaches I used to get trying to stay awake when I couldn't... But after reading the last reply by Jen_ I did laugh... the 'stupid attacks' lol are me down to a T.. being awake but being really dense just summed it up nicely.. I had never thought this could be because of my Provigil I was just accepting it as part of my Narcolepsy... So tell me.. could it be the Provigil that is making me have these 'stupid attacks'?

My sister always knows when I have just taken my tablets .. coz I can say a full sentence and she is sitting there laughing at me and i say 'wot is it?' and I have jumbled all my words up completely..same thing happens when I am tired tho' so that why I wasn't sure if it was coz of the N or coz of the tablets.. Any advice would be great...

Look forward to your replies

xxxx
