I've been on it for a couple of years, and haven't experienced any side effects.
And about 6 months ago, we increased my dosage to 2 per day. I had told my neurologist that I was still having a lot of trouble with fatigue, and he offered a prescription for an amphetamine. But I asked if I could just increase the Provigil to 2 a day instead, and keep his idea lined up as a last resort. So he agreed.
Even with taking two Provigil each morning, I haven't experienced any side effects.
Sadly though, I can take them and be ready for a nap in about an hour...lol. So I am not sure they are really doing anything for me anymore. I am tempted to call the doc back and go with his idea.
Take care...Kay

I'm taking provigil 4 a short time now. its working what I try to do is not take it on my days off. I don't want to have to depend on any drug so I'm trying to be careful

I highly recommend. I've used it on days that I am just too tired, fatigued, drained to do anything and it really helps. I have to cut the pill in 1/2. I think it's 200mg, so I do 100mg (and it still gets me going). I do only use it as a last resort. I refuse to take it on a regular basis. So, as needed. Good luck! Hope it helps.

I have said this before, I take provgil when I am out of Adderal.
A little bit of news about Provigil my Nuer. told me that when our pilots were bombing Irag(spelling) The Pilots would take Provigil

oh i wished we could get this in the uk it sounds great i wonder if i could have it sent over from america it would cost a bomb!!!!!!!! does anyone know of anything similer thts avalible in the uk???? thanks!! and good luck spyderNCSU love lizxx

I have tried taking Provigil on two separate occasions. Unfortunately for me, it seemed to speed up and intensify my other symptoms. I was more alert but my spasms and pain level increased.

my neuro also gave me samples of provigil and unfortunately for me it made my heart race, I was awake and alert but I hated the the way it made me feel, I felt like I just swallowed a whole bag of speed.

My doctor put me on this a while ago. I was not too happy with it, because while it kept me wide awake all day, I was still exhausted. Then the drug keeping me awake, I could not nap. So, I quit taking it. But everyone reacts differently.

I've been taking 100 mg. of provigil..Just recently it was upped to 200 mg/day. I take them in the morning and it works very well. I've had no side effects.

Yes, the military does take it to stay awake due to their sometime unpredictable hours.

was very hopeful about finding a source for more energy but i had terrible headaches within hours of taking it - will talk to doc. about alternative - any suggestions out there?ever
