My Mom takes 200mg. Says it makes her feel much less depressed (and she's narcoleptic too). I think she seems much more happy and active since she started to take it.
i also take 200mg. I find it infinitely preferable to caffeine (the only other stimulant I have experience with). I was drinking WAY too much coffee, and still having to take many naps. after provigil, not anymore.
I will stay awake for about 12 hours, although the occasional afternoon nap is not prohibited. No side effects. I feel more motivated when I take it. I think I also feel more focused, probably because I'm not constantly obsessed with keeping myself awake lol
And then there was the night that I mistook my 200mg provigil with my 300mg seroquel. This is not good for anxiety. I was unable to fall asleep and thought "gee, why am I so !@#@#!@$%!$ awake" it was really really annoying.
I have anxiety too. I think it is less-anxiety provoking than caffeine. That is, the dose of caffeine I need to stay alert vs. the dose of provigil I need to stay alert -> provigil has far fewer side effects.
zapZing!
