I take 20mg Adderall XR at 5am and then 200mg Provigil at 10am. Before the Adderall, I took a 200mg Provigil in the morning and another at 10am. I got the worst headaches and the sun, especially driving, was very hard to tolerate. My eyes were blurry. My eyes were the only thing awake, like almost stuck open but my body felt lifeless and worn out. Had some problems with my insurance covering 2 Provigils a day (long story) so my doc added the Adderall XR. I was not thrilled to start taking amphetamines but I did. Taking the Provigil at 10am seems to calm the wearing down of the Adderall. I don't know how long the XR should last, but when I am busy on the weekends and forget to take the Provigil at 10am, I feel the downside of the Adderall. This works for me and HOPEFULLY taking the Provigil in addition will keep me from having to take more Adderall. I don't really know my point to this reply...taking 400mg Provigil gave me bad side effects (headaches, blurry eyes, foggy, cold) but 200mg with Adderall in the morning works well for me.
