Then they think I'm screwing around when I don't get something or that I'm not trying at all. I also am not very socially savvy. I take everthing at face value and just seem to miss the obvious a lot.

>Well, yes I often find it hard to give directions b/c I'm always confusing right from left. And like you socially a bit clueless. Having NVLD is a bit like having a condition that no matter where you are or whom you're with you there's a strange feeling that you just don't fit in.
I've been wanting to try Provigil, but my doc is dead set against it b/c I'm also on Parnate and he thinks that the combination (based on one study that he read somewhere) is dangerous.
But if you're also telling me that it's effectiveness fizzles out, that's not encouraging at all. The last thing I need at this point is to have a med start to fail on me, especially if it relieves my symptoms successfully in the beginning.
