> > I have had a loss of appetite with provigil (which is okay), but I also feel some nausea, which is not okay. I've been taking it about 5 or 6 days now. First, has anyone else experienced this? Second, if you have, has it gone away over time? Thanks. Shellie

First I thought I was sick in my stomach (having nothing to do with the provigil), now I am thinking it does have to do with the provigil. So I am feeling mostly nausea, and for the last two days, bad depression. I think the depression is related to feeling so physically ill for almost a week. It is hard for me to have any motivation when I feel so sick. The only think I can say for sure is that the provigil has increased my energy--well, actually made me less tired. In a way, that is bad right now--because I feel so bad, I'd like just to get in bed and fall asleep, but I'm not tired! I am not going to take it for a few days to see if my body goes hack to normal, then I might try it again.
Everyone has different reactions to different drugs. Why not try it? Have you tried adrafinil, or did you want to start with the one which has fda approval? I'll let you know what happens with the provigil after I figure it out! My therapist is looking into adrafinil--she'd prefer I stay with provigil because there is more information about it. shellie
