Hi Janelle -

I tried Provigil a few weeks ago. It's used to treat narcolepsy and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is a stimulant - but it's not at all like the other stims. It's not scheduled like them either, probably why docs love prescribing it so much!

Here's what medline has:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/203466.html

It helped me somewhat with my drowsiness, but my insurance won't cover it and I'm going through the whole appeal thing. It's very expensive, so your friend might want to make sure it's covered before making a big investment.

It's certainly not a whizz-bang type of drug - there's no immediate lift like caffeine and whatever it does is very subtle in my experience, which seems to be typical.
