i was put on neurontin for my fibromyalgia (side effects were really bad for me and my body wasn't adjusting to it so i only took it for 4 days before my doctor took me off of it). i have also been prescribed provigil (for narcolepsy), but i haven't started it yet. i've had it before and didn't do well on it so my doctor wants to get me on a med for the pain first and then worry about the provigil (this way we know which one is causing me side effects), but at the same time, i tend to have most side effects listed, plus some for alot of meds.
Provigil is supposed to help with daytime sleepiness and neurontin is supposed to help with seizures and nerve pain. so i'm not sure what they are giving him that one for. i hope this helps.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
