Candy,
Why does your doctor recommend Provigil?
I once complained to the neuro about being so tired all the time. She
thought Provigil would help. It didn't. I think that the fatigue is part of
our neurological disease, I can't imagine why Provigil would help. It didn't
help me and I didn't like the side effects.
My daughter takes it and likes it for Attention Deficit.
Incidentally, imagine a big meeting with many executives in a conference room
with managers around the table making their presentations. One of them, a dear
friend of mine, would fall asleep at the table. It was funny, but it wasn't,
and very embarrassing. It took a long time to figure out he wasn't partying
all night, he had a sleeping disorder for which Provigil among other things
could have been appropriate.
Just my experience. Perhaps someone else would advise you to try it.
Take care Candy,
R
