In reply to started trial of Provigil...help??, posted by Collette1 on January 3, 2002, at 11:06:07
> > I want to be in this thread. I will be starting a trial of Provigal within the next few days. I also have a supply of adrafinil, but my pdoc want me to start with Provigil(samples) to see how it affects me. I am not totally sure why, but it might be because he is familiar with Provigil. If it works, he is not opposed to my trying adrafinil to see if it is as effective (It's WAY cheaper!)Collette

> Ok, hear is my update. I started Provigil 3 days ago. My Pdoc gave me 200mg tablets and told me to take in the AM before food. I made a mistake and took the first one about 1-2 hours AFTER I had eaten. Didn't feel anything special on that day. The 2nd day I had some nausea and otherwise, not much effect yet. Today, I feel lousy. I can't even tell if I am hungry or have no appetite because of the nausea. I did a major search here and have come to the conclusion that: I need to start at a much lower dose( I'm thinking 50mg) and/or I need to take this pill with food. Does anyone have any advice for me? Actually, what I FEEL like doing is not taking any more of this at all! I will appreciate any input. Thanks, ColletteI started on provagil 100 mg 1x daily 2 months ago. The only time I had particular nausea was when I upped the dose to 200 for 2 days. I take it before food by the way. I have just tried this double dose again for two days and this time no nausea. I dont get at all hungry till about 5 hors after so for some people this might cause nausea. I find on the whole it helps a lot. No side effects have put me off it.
