Hi. I had/have the same problem.
A 'personal' wourd of caution. If you're taking Nardil for anxiety relief, I don't think adding Provigil would be wise as it could (will probably) add to anxiety and especially antagonise Nardil's antianxiolytic properties. Thats exactly what I found and I've just given up the combo after a year.
Also, how long have you been taking Nardil? If not very long, and you've not yet had decent relief then try holing on a bit longer. In my experience, if & when Nardil realy kicks in nothing much will bother you, & you'll probably have all the energy you need.
And one final point. During the early months when it still worked well, I would only feel sleepy whilst not doing much. Examples: watching TV, reading, travelling (as passenger), boring lectures, etc. The trick is to keep your mind '& body' active, even if it only involvs using your hands.
A couple of things I found helpfull (my worst sleep attacks were whilst travelling & watching TV):
*DONT WATCH TV - lets face it, its crap most of the time anyway (:
*Listen to a personal stereo, something you can tap your feet to. (works extremely well. Saved me many missed bus & train stops!)
*Invest in a hand-held Game-consol. Think you're too old for one? You'll soon be hooked!Hope something helps.
