>I think that most doctors take excessive tiredness very seriously. Provigil (modafinil) is very safe with minimal side effects and is very effective for your symptoms. Ask your doc for it. With exams coming up, this is a big problem.

Hi,

My pdoc doesn't seem to appreciate the importance of excessive daytime drowsiness, he always views it as being a symptom of depression. The concept of somnolence in the absense of depression seems beyond him. I doubt that my pdoc is familiar with Provigil, I very much doubt that he has ever prescribed it. I would like to try it but like I say he is only really familiar with SSRIs. He's keeps telling me that SSRIs are stimulating, he doesn't seem to believe that they can cause drowsiness and apathy. I'd really like to try Provigil though. It's very rarely prescribed in the UK.

Regards,
Ed.
