Sorry to those I didn't respond to in a similar thread I began last month.
Provigil continues to work well for me, and the euphoria is mostly gone, but I _do_ notice "brightening" effect on my mood nonetheless.
And desire to sleep has been diminished greatly.
I do notice that on days I don't take Provigil (weekends sometimes), I tend to have a bit of "rebound" sleep.
Taking Provigil has NEVER inhibited my ability to sleep--only my desire to. I.e when I decide to go to bed at night, it's not a problem for me to fall asleep quickly.
However, I HAVE noticed increased *vigilance* (no pun) while I'm trying to fall asleep. For example, my housemate has been gone for a month, and I live in a fairly remote area; when I am trying to sleep, I seem to *quickly* notice *any* "bump" in the night, and respond with an adrenaline rush. But as long as I don't hear anything, I am able to fall asleep without event.
FYI: I take 40/mg Prozac a day and 200/mg Provigil/day (100mg at midday, 100mg at about 2pm).
All the best,
JM

Glad to hear that Provigil has been helping you. Have you noticed any other side effects. For example, difficulty urinating or sexual dysfunction.
Thank you,
AndrewB
