If this fails, I'm going to have to pare my life down to its essentials.It's hard getting this drug to work for me also. It causes insomnia which sends me into terrible depressions if it goes on too long. So I've lowered the dosage to 50 mg and tried to reduce my caffeine consumption to a bare minimum (caffeine is the only thing that seems to wake me up, even though I have a terrible time going to sleep-makes no sense but there it is). I'm supposed to wait until the sleep and depression are under control before going up to 75 mg. It's frustrating because I want to feel alert now!
I know there's Ambien, Halcion, etc. but I don't like taking meds to counter the side effects of other meds. I hope we can both figure out how to make Provigil work for us.
