Hmmm...confusing, confusing.
I'll definitely talk w/ my Dr. about cardio issues related to provigil, but in all likelihood he probably knows less about it than everyone who's posted to this thread (and he's a sharp guy--board-certified in sleep medicine and pulmonology, so he should be quite knowledgeable about provigil).
I'm generally healthy but extremely senstive to/intolerant of stimulants.
I wonder about the sympathomimetic activity of provigil because this might have negative consequences when combined with a beta blocker (as beta blockers "increase pressor affects of sympathomimetics" due to beta receptors being blocked but alpha adrenergic receptors not).
