Years ago I took 200 mgs of Provigil with very few problems. Due to insurance I had to stop taking it. Now to new insurance I have been able to get back on it. My prime purpose to use it is for ADD and lack of energy.
So I started out a couple weeks ago on only about 25 mgs to work my way up slow to the 200 mgs. Because I am very apprehensive and sensitive to medications this works best for me.
I did just fine until I got to the 100 mgs. That day I had severe anxiety and nervousness. My whole body was so tense that I could do nothing but wait it out.
It started about 4 hours after I took the dose and lasted for another 5 hours until I finally and reluctantly took 2 mgs of Valium and then only was i able to relax!
Now i'm scared to death of the stuff. I so need its helps though. But becaues I already have anxiety/panic issues I do not do well on Ritalin or them stimulants. I never had this problem before so I dont know why I did now.
I guess my question now is that if I go back on it and stick with the anxiety and use the valium to get through it, will the axniety eventurally go away on its own?
The days that I used it I got so much accomplished, I never felt anxious, high or anything from it.
I felt sharp and smart for a change.
I did a lot of things and now I am back to doing nothing and its really upsetting me./any advice on this med would be so wonderful!
