Hi Zeugma,
I was hoping that the Ritalin would not give you the horrible insomnia that you were getting with Provigil. Of course you have only had one or two nights experience with Ritalin's effects by now. But I was wondering how it was going? Any improvements?

Hi ktemene,
Thanks for the concern. On the night when I had a really bad crash, I had taken the Ritalin with a little Provigil. Yesterday I took only the Ritalin, and i had no trouble at all falling asleep, although I woke up early this morning. This is a common reaction I have to starting meds, and isn't so bad anyway. The Ritalin definitely seems to work better for my ADHD. Also (and I suppose this is common) it had an immediate benefit in terms of calmness and attention, while it took the Provigil quite a while to get a benefit from it.
