Thanks for that. Honestly, I wasn't concerned that much with its *effectiveness*. Being bipolar it has more to do with what *bad* stuff could happen by taking it. If I have a negative response to a medication at the beginning it very rarely ever gets better. My trouble is primarily treatment intolerance rather than treatment resistance. I am just concerned that if I stopped my WB and added a tiny bit of Provigil that I would have GI distress, or bad insomnia, or rages/anxiety, stuff like that.
