Hi LisaMichelle -
How long have you been on Lex and at what dose? I've been on 10 then 20mg for the past 9 months and like the AD effect, but can't stand the sleepiness. So, my doc is switching me to Wellbutrin. I'd never heard of Provigil before. It sounds like it really works for a lot of sleepy people!Thanks,
Lynne

I've been taking 100mg of Provigil in the morning for a week now and it lasts until I got to bed which sometimes is after midnight. I agree with what I've read here, it helps you stay awake when you want to, but doesn't stop you from sleeping at night. I'm supposed to increase to 200mg after 1 more week but this dose seems fine for me for now. I don't take it for attention - I take it because the Lexapro I take zonks me out. Good luck - I think it's worth a try.
