Thank you so much.I have been on Provigil (300mg) for a few months, after using Ritalin (several forms) to combat day-time sleepiness caused by other meds (including lithium and nortriptyline). The Provigil did help, at first, without the rollercoaster effect of ritalin. However I suspect I am becoming tolerant to it, also, and have been tapering off the past week. Sorry to report I found no weigh-loss associated with it's use. I tend to become tolerant to everything, so your experience might be quite different.
