In reply to Provigil works good if u never taken ADD stims, posted by 3 Beer Effect on March 20, 2002, at 1:13:34
Ah, dear 3 Beer Effect. I do disagree. It's a different affect, yes, & doesn't give one the 'kick in the pants' effect that the other pstims do but people do react differently.
Mind you, my trial on Ritalin was only one week - the doctor at that time figured if I made it through this many years without it, I didn't need it now. So why did he give me a week's worth to try? The ass.
I've also taken Dexedrine long-term. It gives an immediate boost, but I still like my adrafinil (or Provigil, if I could get it cheap). Maybe if I didn't have narcolepsy, it might be different. But with Dexedrine (& the short trial of Ritalin), each time the dose wore off & I'd need another dose for the day, the sleepiness would come over me in a rush. I hated the half-asleep, then awake, then half-asleep, then awake feeling I'd get through the day. I felt like a yo-yo. Now I can stay awake all day knowing that it won't wear off in a couple of hours.
So I'm at least one person who doesn't fit your profile of previous pstim users not liking Provigil.
