> That said, I did crash after taking Provigil for about 3 or 4 days, and what a bummer that was. It worked so well for me, that I was crushed (emotionally and phsycially!) when it backfired on me. I tried it a few different times to see if it was all in my head, but it happened every time.

A couple thoughts re Provigil and crashing or poop-out:

-- Provigil often causes a mild euphoria for the first few days, and when this goes away users may mistake it for poop-out. Could be it just doesn't work for you, or that you need to give it more time or work with the dosage, as discussed.

-- On the flip side, Provigil has the unusual property -- although typically only at higher doses -- of occasionally inducing its own metabolism...i.e., eating itself up, if you will. This lasts only a day or two, during which time you can just take more.

-- Speaking of "taking more", I've found that an occasional spike from my usual 100 mg to 200 mg can be re-energizing. I don't need to do this for more than a day or two at a time. In fact, if I keep it up longer I tend to get a tad wired.

My current meds for non-depressive social phobia are 100 mg Provigil + 1 mg Klonopin, all in the morning.
