KK, I posted this piece as I remembered reading about others who've had this problem with Provigil so I thought they might want to read it & ask their doctor for a check-up.
I take adrafinil, but seeing one of its main metabolites is modafinil (Provigil), I might as well say I take Provigil.
I've noticed no problems on it at ALL. It's really wonderful for me. I don't find that it makes me energetic but my energy levels are pretty high IF I can maintain wakefulness (my main problem is narcolepsy besides ADHD - otherwise I go in bursts then completely stop). It also serves to help me with some of my problems with ADD but unfortunately nothing so far seems to work for my small 'working RAM' memory. I think it may just be hard-wired into my brain & nothing will fix it.
Have you ever had a full EKG done on you, not just resting but while exercising too? You'll have to let me know if stopping smoking helps you.
