> lorilu, I have a question: did you experience increased anxiety when you went to 200 mg? Or irritability? It seems that provigil is totally non-anxiogenic for me at 100 mg, in fact I start feeling anxious around 1 pm when I start becoming hazy and exhausted again. I had an iced tea at that time (great minds think alike :)) and it helped but I am still exhausted and am making the pot of coffee scott suggested.

Yes! You are going to have anxiety for the first week or two. I have posted that before on earlier posts a few months back. It needs to get in your system. Now if you want to take it with Adderall, like my PDoc wants me too, that will reverse that. I don't like to focus that much. :) It slows me down and makes me feel like everything is in slow motion. I guess that's how the real world is. I was driving to my other doctor, my therapist, after taking Adderal, and I was going 80 on the freeway, and I told him it felt like I was going 55 on the freeway. I thought the medicine wasn't working. I thought it was a "stimulant". He said that was what it was supposed to do. Since that day I haven't taken it. Crazy isn't it. I like the energy Porvigil gives me. My therapist would rather I get off Porvigil and only take Adderall, go figure.When I first started Provigil my skin would crawl, I was overstimulated by little sounds and any noise. Elevator noise would drive me crazy! Work through it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is really worth it! Gotta go or I will be late to pick up the kids. See I am always in a rush, my brain works better that way.
Any suggestions... :)
