I don't think it will get worse at a higher dose. The Provigil isn't addicting. It is used for narcolepsy. There is one person who in recovery for anorexia on this board who is taking it and it even helps her depression.

Hopefully at least those will go away. Some people split their dosage into two which I think helps with the afternoon fatigue.
