Yep, I had those problems. 2 - 200mg's one in the AM and one at lunch did the same thing to me. My body still felt tired but my eyes were stuck open. The sun was way to bright to drive sometimes. My vison was blurred.

I told my doctor about this and he gave me 20mg Adderall XR to take in the morning and said to try the 200 mg at lunch. The nasty symptoms listed above were still there after lunch.

I quit taking the Provigil all together and took the Adderall as prescribed and felt a lot better.

I did that for a month and then he increased the Adderall XR to 25 mg and I am doing just fine. ]

I was disappointed with how Provigil made me feel too. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling and ask him if it trying something else would benefit you.

Good luck.
