Provigil does not do that to me at all, I have been taking it for 4 years, anywhere from 200-400mg daily in two divided doses. I have not tried to discontinue it as it elevates my mood and makes me more inclined to be social, but I know if I try to quit caffeine I get the migraine from the lowest pit of hell. And I just love to drink it. I started when I was 16 and had been put in the mental hospital. It made me an active participant in group therapy, if you want to call it that...
