> I also take Provigil for fatigue caused by Lexapro. I have only been taking it for about a week and was wondering how much you take. I am currently taking 20 mg of Lex and 100 mg of Provigil in the morning. I have had some problems getting to sleep at night and so I have had to take Benadryl the last couple of nights. Have you noticed any side effects from the Provigil?

I am taking 10mg of Lexapro and 100mg of Provigil. Since I'm not noticing any effects from the Lexapro (I've been on it 6 weeks) my doctor wants to increase my dose to 20 mg. He didn't feel the need to go to 15mg first which I think is a little strange and maybe I'll just try that on my own for a bit. He didn't think I would need to increase the Provigil (even with the Lexapro at 20mg) but wrote me an rx for a 200mg pill in case. I have no problems going to sleep and haven't noticed any side effects from the Provigil. I take the Lexapro at night and the Provigil in the morning. Maybe it would help you to switch your dosing of Lexapro to the night. Good luck and hang in there because the beginning is the worst part!
