Hey Ignatz ~

About the Provigil - there was initial hope that it would be effective for ADD. I sure was hoping. There may be atypical responses to it where it does help ADD - just not enough for the company raking in all the bucks off its sales to make a broad claim. (I'm paying for it out of pocket - yikes! - but it does seem to help with my mental alertness and doesn't disrupt my sleep like ritalin and dexedrine do.)

My mom called me ignatz when i was little - she grew up with Herriman's stuff, and i think she loved the sound of the word. She even had an original copy of "Archie and Mehitabel" and this great puppet/bottle cover named Mehitabel. It greatly cheered me to be reminded of Coconino County - I'm having a rough day. Thanks.

Let me know how it goes with you. I hope the Provigil helps you.

best,

mary
