> "Modafinil (Modiodal and Provigil), this is the very latest analogue of Adrafinil, and likewise is a unique non-sleep-affecting stimulant, specially designed to treat narcolepsy, hypersomnia and catoplexy.

> It is considerably more potent than Adrafinil, but is designed to be less likely to be the cause of any liver enzyme problems with long term use. Doses are one or two tablets (100mg each) as required. Avoid use in the evening."

> Michael DewolfHi I took provigil for three months,200mg aday!!! Wow what A disappointment, from very first dose I noticed hmmm darn can't think straight-this is not good is it-nope course not!!!! I was bound and determined though to make it - no matter how much I sufferred as long as the eventual outcome was good. For 3 months I panicked,sufferred did absolutely nothing. How could I, I was in a mental cloud and plus my shoulder joint and neck were so painful couldn't even raise my arms, hmmm this is supposed to be helpful--I don't think so !!! Finally I said this shall stop, I went off provigil head cleared-up muscles worked ok-- hmm !! Well so much for the provigil bandwagon. Since I have seen several people "IRL" in real life go through the same syndrome-- strange how marketing studies don't reflect what occurs out in the "real" world, I had very very good expectations for provigil unfortunately didn't pan-out!!! :(:( Bummer too bad. Some people might do well on provigil just as some people do well on all sorts different meds,my opinion is that provigil will have limited success simply has very little utility and the side-effects were byfar worse that I've personally ever experienced and I've been round block few times. Geez I'd much better have liked to come on and give provigil rave review, hate to be so negative but this provigil is a real piece of work:(:( .
