awatts-- provigil was good for me, but i'm not sure i would recommend it alone for depression. i took it in combination with lithium and zoloft b/c i'm dx'd BP II. provigil was good for motivation and energy in a subtle way. i would start projects i had put off, and i didn't have a high, but i had energy enough to see them through. my mood might've been better, but it was stable at that time already, so i can't say. it also has a long half life, the longest of the long-release stimulant drugs. i think adderall and ritalin work better for me than provigil, but with my problems, the immediate release ones cause too many ups and downs that are bad for BP. i think provigil is worth a try... it's also very expensive. i took 200mg a day.
