I never cease to be amazed by how differently the same drug can make people feel. I took Provigil years ago and I loved it. I mean, I really loved it. It gave me a speed like feeling. Whenever I like a drug that much within fifteen minutes of taking it I know I can't take it. But because I loved it and because I have an addictive personality, I kept taking it. I was taking like two hundred in the morning and two hundred in the afternoon. Eventually, I became really zoned out and then I had the paradoxical reaction of basically slipping into a deep sleep that I didn''t awaken from for twelve hours. Don't remember when I finally tossed the bottle. But I also remember that it began to give me really bad, awakening at four am anxiety. But, some people love Provigil and don't feel any addictive pull. They are lucky. By the way, a peculariar side effect was that it made my pee smell really strange!
