I have only been of Provigil about a month, but my appetite has decreased from the drug. Initially, I was very nauseated, and hardly ate anything for the first week. Now, the nausea is completely gone, but I still don't have much of an appetite. Most days I don't eat any lunch until I start to get dizzy from not eating (about 2 or 3 pm). At that point I'm not really feeling hungry, but I know I should eat something. I usually have a small snack.

In the late evenings, when the Provigil wears off, I'm suddenly very hungry and eat a normal dinner.

Based on my response to Provigil in this short time, I would not assume that you are necessarily going to be someone that gains weight.

Good Luck!
