Ritalin v. Provigil

Posted by jms600 on April 8, 2004, at 16:52:52

Hello,
From the message I posted a few days ago, people seem to recommend Ritalin or Straterra for the dreaded "brain fog" (lack of concentration, inability to take anything in, constant daydreaming). I think its refered to as ADD.
Since I also suffer from GAD/Social Phobia I am concerned that Ritalin/Straterra may aggravate this. I have heard that Provigil has a more gentler action. Is this true??
How does Provigil compare with Ritalin/Straterra?
Is Provigil any good for improving concentration and increasing your ability to take information in? Or does it just increase wakefulness and no more??
Any information would be gratefully appreciated!
