I know how that feels, it can be discouraging! This has happened to me with some meds, and I was initially very upset. But then I looked at it from a different perspective. I realized I still had the capicity to feel normal, even if it was just for a week. I knew my brain still worked and could feel pleasure. That made me even more motivated to do what ever it took to get out of my depression.
Now you know you still have the capicity to feel normal, and your goal is to get back to that state! So maybe your on to something with the provigil and you just need to fine adjust the med in order to feel better again. Maybe you just need to increase the dose of provigil or try a stimulant which is a little stronger .... but what ever it is, you are a step away from being well.
Hang in there. We are all routing for you.
