I used Provigil for about 6 months as a stimulant to help counter the fatigue and daytime somulance cuased by the other meds I was taking for depression.
In order to sleep okay at a reasonable hour, I had to play around with my dosage and the time I took it. I found 100mg was all I really needed, but finding the right time to take it was critical...if I took it 1st thing in the morning I would crash pretty hard by around 4-5pm.
So I would recommend playing around with the time you take the med and also the dosage...you can take 200mg tabs and half or third'em. I would seek the lowest dose that can keep you alert during the important parts of your day.
I had to stop taking it after about 6 months because I would become very edgy if I didn't increase my dosage and then I wouldn't be able to sleep. Hope it works for you, cause when I started it I felt great!
Good Luck!
