two days on Provigil, and it seems vaguely similar to the other stimulants I've taken in the past, i.e. slightly calming, no real energizing effect yet, but I've minimized my caffeine intake to an absolute low. I am not pinning all my hopes on this med. 50 mg is too low a dose and I have no idea how long it takes Provigil to exert its therapeutic effect. From all my research it seems scientists have no clue how this drug works. I can only hope, then, that they stumbled on something valuable. Where Strattera immediately made me alert, even at 18 mg, this one is calming. So maybe I am having the classic ADD response to a stimulant. My pdoc seems to want to give this one about two weeks, then it's on to Ritalin, so I gather it's not like an AD in its delayed therapeutic effect. I'll probably have a clearer picture after I go to 100 mg on Monday.
