Am I wrong in coming to the conclusion that provigil is most being prescribed for sedation symptoms???? Has anyone been prescribed it for ADD and/or depression? I can't seem to findmuch about it on the web. thanks

what kind of effect do you feel? my doc says I am ADD. I have been taking prozac for years and then started taking neurontin (a small dose) for anxiety. TUrns out I was soooo tired I couldn't move. So, i try adderall and can't stand how I feel so I stopped taking it. I feel better because I also decreased the neurontin, but when I spoke to the doc yesterday, he tells me to try provigil. I assumed for the ADD, but now I am not so sure. What does it do for you??? elise
