> Hi,
Hey gg,
mike here...
> I've been on 200 mg Provigil for about 3 weeks now. I've noticed a decrease in binge eating and in impulsivity, which is good. These effects showed up fairly quickly, even at 100 mg.
May I ask if you started at 100 mg and how soon you notice effects?
>> I have mild ADHD, and I added Provigil to address my inattention
Have you noticed any improvement in attention? If so, might you be able to rate this improvement on a 1-10 scale?
>>and hopefully augment my antidepressants.
and how about this department?
> The only negative effect I've had, which I posted about above, but no one seemed to notice,I did... I always read your provigil posts ;)
>>is that if I get too much caffeine, I feel overstimulated. It's not as bad as akithisia, but it did make it hard to relax and my anxiety increased that day.May I ask if you have resolved this with decreasing/eliminating caffeine?
One last question I have, gg (I promise), is whether you would describe any sort of calming effect as often seem w/ the stimulants.
Hope it doesn't feel like I'm interrogating you with all these questions...feel free to answer any or none... i'm just very interested in your experience.
rock on,
mike
