Yes.
I had a lot of good luck with Provigil, at 100mg and 100/50mg. (That last was a front loaded split dose -- 100mg AM, and 50mg noonish.)
I took if for about two years, and it was great -- augmented my ADs and was brightening on its own.
I stopped taking it after that time because A) I needed a nap every day (I'm weird...), B) I was more depressed and wondered if stopping it would help (not really), and C) I'm trying to get pregnant, and it's not Category B.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I've tried alertec to help with sedation from atypical antipsychotics... it didnt work well for me as it made me kinda hyper after i took it then i felt like i crashed... however, i think thats because im bipolar and lots of drugs make me go up and then come down... but my shrink is a big fan of it for energy and improving cognitive function.. good luck
bps
