Yes, my experience was much like yours. I took Provigil on several occasions (never more than two days in a row). I took anywhere from 100mg. to 500mg. at one time or in devided doses. No matter what the combination it always lasted 4 hours, then I switched to a very dysphoric depressed state (felt like a bad case of the flu - sudden onset). I also take Lamictal 200mg. and Prozac 15mg. I was an abuser of Dex. years ago. May I ask if you have Bipolar Disorder. My major complaint is atypical depression but the "wiz kids" in psycho-pharm. (pdocs) have hinted at Bipolar, due to the lack of emperical scientific testing I will never know.....just have to treat the symptoms.
Good luck
Geezer
