I do have narcolepsy but I found Provigil did nothing for it, even at the max dose. It was like taking water. But as an AD & mood enhancer, it's wonderful!
But the effects for me are subtle. I never noticed anything for a week or so till. And when I ran out a couple of times, the effects wore off over a couple of weeks too. You DON'T need to taper off Provigil - it's not like ADs that way.
Like I said, the effects are subtle for me. But they're very real, nonetheless. I have increased appreciation of life & an inner peace & contentment from it.
It's not my only med though. I'd been taking Celexa for a couple of years before, & when the Provigil didn't help the narcolepsy, I've also added Dexedrine. But I know what each med does & can tell the difference between their effects.
