In reply to PROVIGIL! Question, posted by starlight on June 15, 2004, at 14:46:50
> Have any of you tried Provigil and if so what was your experience and what meds did you add it to?
> starlight>I was given Provigil for depression- I was SO fatigued. I started at 100 mgs-I took it about 9am and completely crashed at 4pm. I would start at 50 if I had to do it over again. It did NOTHING for my depressive syptoms; but at least I was up and able to function. I take it everyday (2 yrs now) I also have to take Xanax becuz my mood drops dramatically about 5 hrs after taking it. I NEVER had an anxiety problems before. It totally suppresses my appetite; sure helps with constipation though! I do not advise taking it in the afternoon: it will make it hard to fall asleep. Also, do not stop suddenly if you take it everyday. It induced crying, anxiety, hopeless feelings--just like the Adderall XR and Ritalin that I recently tried to help overcome this fatigue. (The provigil is not working so well lately) Hope this helps.
