I have been taking provigil for almost a week now. I have been incredibly tired. So tired, I can't do almost anything. At first I thought it was pms, but I'm done with that. I also can't sleep (during the day) despite the fatigue. At night I take aderex and am able to sleep but am waking up early (about 6am--I go to bed about 1am--took valium to fall back asleep this morning until 10am). Last night I just lay in my bed from 8pm until 11:30, couldn't open my eyes to even watch tv. (I was not feeling depressed). I finally took aderex and klonopin (which I do every night) and feel asleep until 6am.
I think the provigil has kicked in on the depression in the last two days. Last time I tried provigil at a higher dose and also took klonopin, so I thought that's why I was tired. This time, no klonopin, and still the fatigue. No swollen glands to indicate any virus.
Could I be having a paradoxical effect? I looked at side effects, no mention of tiredness. I wouldn't even call it sleepy, just tired--my whole body. Any ideas? Thanks, Shellie
