Provigil - here goes...... (Janelle)

Posted by Snoozy on April 30, 2003, at 0:29:44

I saw my pdoc today, and got a prescription for Provigil. I'm picking it up tomorrow.
I awoke to a minor household calamity this morning and struggled to deal with that as I was so so tired. I did have to go back to bed and sleep - I was worried I wouldn't be able to get to my appt. I was therefore my usual dullard self during my appt.
I first asked about Ritalin, which he didn't want to prescribe. I have had it before, although I had a problem with headaches from it. My medications are different now and I thought maybe I would be able to tolerate Ritalin - oh well.
So then I asked about Provigil, and he agreed to try that. I'm worried about "the Provigil headache" as I've heard it termed. I'm totally desperate though - I've got stuff I need to deal with this week and I'm really really struggling.
We need a new vocabulary for fatigue I think. Like how they say the Eskimo have 37 words for snow. I'm trying not to be too discouraged as I haven't had the Provigil yet, but....
