Oct 01, 2009 Moderate None Always Not at all
Advice/Tips Cost
Oct 01, 2009 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. $25-49 monthly
