Hi, Lorraine -
Glad to hear that Provigil has continued to prove helpful for you, and at a low dose. Does the small 25mg still raise your blood pressure some? If so, are you taking something else to help counter that side-effect?
I've been so busy lately I've had to steer clear of P-B for awhile, and that will continue after this short break -- except that I've set an auto-notification for updates to this specific thread.
I have to admit I'm a more than a tad frustrated to see that I missed the "live" appearance by the esteemed Dr. Thomas A.M. Kramer a few weeks ago. I've posted here in the past about how logical,level-headed and on-the-money his Medscape commentaries are, and his posts here sure did nothing but reinforce my admiration! In fact, it was a Kramer column in Medscape about two years that first gave me the idea of asking my pdoc to add Provigil to my Klonopin+Serzone Social Anxiety Cocktail. Glad I did!!
I've found this thread fascinating, from IsoM's continued fantastic response to adrafinil, to Emme's micro-dosing saga (jeez, I can barely cut a 100 mg Provigil in *half* cleanly, even with a pill splitter!) to everything else.

> I take 25 mg a day to keep me alert and awake, some mood elevation, without the wired feeling. If it is making you jittery for more than the first week, you might try cutting your dose until you find one that works for you or you might find that even with cutting the dose it doesn't work for you.
