The above link will take you to one of the videos during the 2004 Symposium
in which Dr. Schapiro discussed fatigue in TM.
Hope these help answer your questions. Yes, Provigil has been proven to be
helpful in patients with TM experiencing extreme fatigue.

Subject: [TMIC] Re: Provigil for TM?
Fellow sufferers;
Have any of you heard of Provigil? Used for narcolepsy, it has found use by
MS patients to counter the extreme fatigue common with MS; and our situation
is often similar in some respects.
I get this fatigue, sometimes so bad that I stumble from lunch, slurring my
speech, and collapse on anything available and must be carried to a bed.
Would Provigil be useful??
Who has heard of this med?
