Provigil use to help me more with my lassitude fatigue. I've been taken Provigil for at least eight years. I've notice that the drug does not seem to be working as well.
I was prescribed Provigil due to excessive daytime sleepiness. I had one episode when I was at a restaurant with my husband where I told him I knew I was going to fall asleep, and I went out like a light. At home, I would sit down and constantly dose off. I still am very sleepy during the day, but I only HAVE to lay down and take 1 nap in the afternoon. Then I can usually stay awake while I sit around. I am not constantly dozing off. I still have those days where I could sleep all day once in a while. I take 200mg when I wake up in the morning.
Provigil has helped me to stay awake for longer periods of time. When there are days that I am totally exhausted, I can fall asleep even though I have taken the proper dose. I also find that this medication effects me differently on different days, sometimes it keeps me awake, sometimes I can fall asleep even though I've taken the proper dose, and sometimes it makes me hyperactive and I can't sleep all day and all night.
