I have had extreme fatigue for about a year. I'm not too sad etc. but I have absolutely no ambition or energy. I now take 400mg of Provigil in the morning. It helped, but not enough, and it gave me nausea. So my doctor added Straterra, but the nausea was really bad, so I tried dropping the Provigil and keeping the Straterra. That did nothing. I need BOTH the Provigil and Straterra to get additional energy. It also has really reduced suicidal ideation. The nausea has gone away with time (ginger helps in the mean time).
So, yes, I would think Provigil would be worth a try. And if that isn't enough, see if your doc will add Straterra in, too.
Let me know how it goes.
