> I began taking Provigil 200mg/day a few days ago. I experienced an immediate mild improvement that lasted perhaps four hours. For me, this is tremendously significant. Later in the day, I felt pretty dull-witted and kinda zombie-like. This had pretty much worn off by the end of day 2. On day 3, I knew that I still gleaned a small improvement in energy and cognition, but that has begun to dissipate. How does this compare with your experience with Provigil?

> That I experienced such a demonstrable improvement over the first two or three days gives me hope that adrafinil might have what it takes. Based on what I have seen here on Psycho-Babble, adrafinil seems to be more effective for depression than Provigil, and produces fewer, if not milder side effects. The only two disadvantages I see for adrafinil is that U.S. citizens must rely upon foreign sources and that it has a liability for stressing the liver. Otherwise, making the decision between Provigil and adrafinil is a no-brainer.Scott, do you feel secure taking adrafinil with an MAOI?
> I will try to remain on Provigil for a while longer. I find it very difficult to remain on a drug that has produced a transient antidepressant effect that dissipates. My history has consistently demonstrated that there is no reappearance of a response once it has been lost.Scott, are you only taking the provigal once a day?
I was told to take it twice. Also, can your dose be increased? shellie
