Dexedrine (dextro-amphetamine) has been around since the late 1930's and has worked well for decades. Adderall is a derivitive of dexedrine, not quite as strong, but still the same effect.

Thanks so much for that info - it really made my night as I was trying to figure out how much I would need to spend to pay for Provigil myself, especially if I'm going to increase to 200mg. I will definitely bring up dexedrine when I go to my pdoc tomorrow. I especially like that it's been around a long time. Maybe it will even work better for me than the Provigil if it works in a different way.
Your info is very much appreciated!
