In reply to Need Provigil HELP - JohnX2? Anybody?, posted by Zo on March 18, 2002, at 17:19:55

Be sure to take 200 mg/day, the standard starting dose. Many doctors try to prescribe 100 mg which is usually too low. Steady state blood level is reached in about 3 days. Provigil 200 mg worked great all day for almost 2 months, but now the benefits are waning & the benefits only last 5-6 hours. An increase to 400 mg would help most anyone- they recently found out the effects of Provigil are dose related. 87% of narcoleps improved on 400 mg versus only 27% on 200 mg.

I am going to switch to the long acting Dexedrine Spansules, or perhaps Focalin (the new d-isomer only of Ritalin) which is short acting (3.5 hrs) like Ritalin but causes equal brain stimulation with less nervousness.
