Provigil- fear of?

Posted by kribensis on April 17, 2014, at 10:41:35

My dr prescribed provigil b/c we though that my "depressed" was actually more related to lack of energy and the antidepressants I tried didn't seem to be helping or I couldn't handle side effects.

I had a severe drug reaction 3 years ago so while I'm not anxious in general (run more on lethargic, low energy, depressed side) I am anxious about new meds.

Although most of the things I have read about provigil have been positive or at least not severe reactions, there were a few posts I read where people had severe reactions liver and spleen inflammation, etc.

If I am only taking 100mg and I am fairly healthy, how bad is this drug in the big scheme of things? Not really a great question and I think I am just trying to alleviate the stress/anxiety I have about taking this. Took 50mg yesterday, did feel a boost, nothing negative.

Is this okay to take daily/longer term if I find it helps?
