In reply to Provigil Stupids?, posted by theo on July 9, 2004, at 16:29:52
> I was going to try Provigil and went to a Narcoleptic web site and the input on Provigil was extremely negative. From what I've read here it seems to be a mood brightener but the narc site has people trying to find a better sub for it because they complain of the "Provigil Stupids," saying it makes them dumber than a box of rocks. Anyone have any explaination for the Provigil Stupids?
I take provigil, and it doesn't do that to me. I understand having difficulty speaking. FOr example, you might have a word that you have on the tip of your tongue or buried in your mind without being able to say it.
I would tend to think that perhaps part of the brain involved with that kind of cognition is overactivated. I am not really sure though.
Most narcos take high doses of provigil though and have taken lots of stimulants for a while, so it's possible that the issue could be a consequence of an accumulation of effects from long treatment periods with different stims.
I am just shooting in the dark here, but it's a fact it's not a super widespread phenonmenon.
