> Thanks gabbix and Theo for your contributions. Sounds like Provigil has some drawbacks going for it that aren't described as prevalent in the company literature. I'll keep this in mind because I get really bad migraines.
which "company literature" did you find? The literature accounts for all the side effects as well as the abuse potential and euphoric effects.you should start low -- even at splitting pills into 25mg pieces {do 25mg morning and then noon or a few hours later} for a few days. Stay at 50mg for a bit and see how things go because the side effects definitely go away. If you start out at 100mg on your very first dose then you will definitely experience a big kick in the behind especially if you are not used to stimulants or are patient with side effects.
You have to give this 3-4 weeks to make some decisions about dose tinkering with your doc and 2 weeks to see if side effects improve. I had curbed appetite and slept 2 hours less a night at first but that went away.
