> What many here describe as a tolerance is not the real tolerance. Provigil retains its efficacy all the time, but it is the initial euphoria that cease to exist upon repeated administration. NOT THE ALERTING, MOOD ELEVATING, CALMING, RELAXING EFFECT. It will always be there, but the problem is since you become used to the state of well being, you fail to notice it and complain of tolerance. That's all.
I've never taken provigil for euphoria, mood elevating, calming, or relaxing and have never actually even experienced any of those effects from it. I've only used it when I've needed to stay awake during the day due to situational sleep deprivation at night and in those cases I can assure you that for me it is less effective every single consecutive day that I use it. The tolerance that I speak of pertains only to the ability to keep my eyes open and has nothing to do with mood or feelings. The crash at the end (once again speaking only in terms of sleep recovery) is also significantly worse for me with provigil than with amphetamine taken for the same reason for the same length of time.
