Hi,
My doctor recently suggested that I switch from provigil to nuvigil. As others in this forum have noted, Cephalon has lowered the price of nuvigil to make it cheaper than provigil. Also, as others have noted, a generic version of provigil should emerge during the next few years.
After one day with nuvigil, I've decided to switch back to provigil. Under the influence of nuvigil, I was alert and focused but felt as if my sense of humor and joy had been completely switched off. My wife independently noticed the change in mood.
The strange thing is that I (a) felt incredibly uptight and ill-tempered and (b) my self-observing ego was aware of these things yet unable to change my mood.
I was also intensely hyperfocused in a way that became unproductive.
I realize that everyone has different reactions to medication, but was wondering what other people are experiencing. What types of reactions have other long-term provigil users had when switiching to nuvigil?
Thanks!
