Motivation/Focusing Problems on Provigil

Posted by Mark H. on January 3, 2002, at 15:01:00

I've taken Provigil for about four months as an alternative to generic Ritalin. The Provigil effectively keeps me awake and alert, and my personality is "nicer" and less edgy than it is when I'm taking methylphenidate. HOWEVER, I haven't been able to get anything done for four months! I'm somewhat better on methylphenidate, but not great. Has anyone else experienced problems with procrastination, focusing, and staying on task while on Provigil and/or Ritalin? I'm trying to sort out what is biochemical and what is simply neurotic!
Thanks in advance for your observations.
With kind regards,
Mark H.
