I also noticed slightly euphoric feelings on the first and second days after starting 100mg of Provigil. I was already taking .25 Xanax four times per day for anxiety. I was diagnosed with depression and NOTHING worked. I've been on and off so many meds in the last four years it is terrible.
Out of desperation I asked my p-doc if he thought I might have adult ADD and not suffer from depression. I noticed that if I took a diet pill with ephedra, I would feel great... but I could not tolerate them because anxiety would eventually get me.
My doctor gave me a sample of Provigil, and I was skeptical. I was really hoping for something specifically for ADD like Ritalin, but looking back I am glad he didn't because it would have likely just caused severe anxiety.
My doctor was right on with Provigil. It has only been one week at the 100mg dosage of Provigil, and it has been the best week I've had in many years!! Provigil gives me the alertness to be productive at work again without any anxiety!! My marriage has done a complete 180! I actually talk to my wife, and have a sex drive again.
I sleep much better, and wake up almost instantly in the morning. I talk to people at work, and am more interested in conversations. My sex life has come back.
Anyway, I'm getting off subject. The very noticable feel good part of Provigil does go away after a few days. But don't get me wrong, this stuff is a life saver for me.
