Please do not think Provigil is less dangerous, addictive, etc. just becuz it is a Scheduled Drug Class IV (Four).
It is very expensive...Right u r no mood benefit for me. BUT
I have done tons of research on it..IMHO the company's intention is to get it approved for ADHD especially in children since the usual ADHD meds like Adderall, Ritalin and Dexedrine are in a higher schedule.
One criteria for abuse potential is "street value". So since 2001 when I began taking it-- the price has not dropped..
I have no mental illnesses but was given dozens of ADs to take daily to prevent menstrual migraines.
Finally, I diagnosed myself basically -with the help of Psycho Babble--- with hypothyroidism and it took years to get a dr to listen to me.
I have anhedonia big time; nonstop fatigue. Provigil helped me with alertness. It probably would work for ADHD....I feel like it GAVE me ADHD. sorry, too sick to go on for now.

> I appreciate the warning. I could probably get a script for a stimulant if I saw a psychiatrist since i have ADD symptoms. I'm not too worried about provigil since its not as strong as the other stimulants and some people say it does nothing for mood.
