> Have you taken Provigil? I'd be interested to know how it compares. I take Provigil twice a day for mood and energy. It sounds like Nuvigil uses the longer acting enantiomer of Provigil. I'm wondering if it seems to have the same effects on mood and energy? Once a day dosing would certainly be preferable. My insurance pays for my provigil, with a $50 co-pay. I'll bet it will be a while before they pay for a newer generation.

Hi Zana, yes I have taken provigil. Honestly the nuvigil has been causing more peripheral effects, more feelings of slight overstimulation and nervousness than I remember the provigil did. Also makes me so damned serious (like all stimlants do) and less sense of humor. It is somewhat effective for staying on task, but so far the bad outweighs the good.
