i want the truth about provigil

Posted by macriocard on December 12, 2003 at 09:40:03:


I went to my Sleep Specialist here in Ireland for the 1st time ever last Tuesday. Ive had N. for 13 years now and thought it was about time i had a chat with her. I have to say that i found her lacking and non informative, i want to get pregnant next year early, and i wanted to know about alternative medicine or herbal medicine that i could take when pregnant so that i could lead a fairly productive life and not have to give up work totally. She told me there wasnt anything i could do or take, that i would just have to make do without the medication im taking.

I told her i was taking about 20 to 25 mg of dexedrine a day and she thought this was an exorbitant amount to be taking. She also said that she did not have any clients using dexedrine at all, that it was pretty obsolete as far as N. was concerned. She said that the provigil was the best one to take, i told her about this site and the N. Forum and i told her that i did not like what i was hearing about provigil. She said that all her clients had no side effects at all, they all take it and find it good. Since i started taking dexedrine 13 years ago, i have never had any side effects, i finally woke up, was able to have orgasms without conking out, was able to do everything. Now the Specialist is telling me to get off it, to try Provigil, im scared of trying it to be honest, ive been reading all the side effects everyone here has been experiencing and to be honest its so scary, i think that everyone should be honest and admit that there is something not quite right about it, that its totally wrong for N. Maybe its just me, i dont know, but i dont have any side effects never did, i hate the thought of starting the Provigil and going lulu.

I also want to try alternative or herbal medicine when im pregnant, i dont want to have to give up my life for 9 months but ill go crazy if i dont have a baby soon, there has to be something out there that will work and help me through the 9 months.
