> GG: Thanks for your insight. Yeah, I guess I will wait another week or two, and see if this tiredness goes away. I have a pdoc appt on April 17. And if I need something earlier I can just email him. I hope football's chart is correct, saying Provigil causes anxiety in only 5-percent of users. To me, though, it just doesnt make sense that something that jacks you up wouldnt cause anxiety. I dont understand that concept.

Provigil's hard to describe unless you've tried it.
It doesn't "jack you up" and give you lots energy like an amphetamine would.

Here's a good description of it, that I found...

"Modafinil has changed the rules of the game. The drug is what's known as a eugeroic, meaning "good arousal" in Greek. It delivers natural-feeling alertness and wakefulness without the powerful physical and mental jolt that earlier stimulants delivered. "There are no amphetamine-like feelings," says Yves. And as Yves' way of taking it shows, being on modafinil doesn't stop you from falling asleep if you want to."
