The only side effect i have had from Provigil so far is gastrointestinal distress.
[z pauses to gulp down some dark caffeinated liquid]
I am at a loss to explain why Provigil would cause such severe side effects on my first trial, and be apparently so tolerable now.
I see my pdoc tomorrow. I do want to try a higher dose, especially since its effects seem to be the opposite of Ritalin's (i.e. increased appetite, slowed rather than speeded thinking, calming rather than agitating). The effects wear off around noon- 1 pm, with less of a steep fall than I had with the Ritalin but unpleasant nonetheless. I'm trying the experiment of some 4 o'clock coffee to see if I can get anything constructive done on Provigil 100 mg after 4 p.m. The iced tea at 1 pm did help :)
