Hi,
I was yawning a lot until I started provigil 2.5 weeks ago. now my fatigue is under control. occasionally I still have sleepy attacks. I believe these may be attributed to low blood sugar.I take 90 mg cymbalta & 12.5 or 25 mg of seroquel in the pm. 200 mg provigil in am.
Have you tried eating 5 small meals a day, and trying to keep your blood sugar pretty even (enough fat & protein, few refined carbs?)
this may help with yawning. Sorry it's so annoying. Another thing that's funny about yawning is that it truly is contagious. Observing a yawn is often sufficient to trigger a full-blown yawning reflex, suggesting that there may be a psychological trigger to yawning, even in the absence of fatigue. Have you ever noticed a pattern between a situation/thought and a yawn? If so, maybe there's a way to inhibit this response and replace it with something else. Just a wild suggestion.
best of luck to you,
-ll
