My neurologist prescribed for me after about a month and half after TM
onset. It did so help with the fatique and my head was so much more alert
and clear. I felt like I could take on the day! It wasn't something i had
to take for a while to feel the effect and did not leave me jittery as
caffeine would.

Hi - I am new to the group. Diagnosed with TM in 2010 and struggle with
extreme fatigue. I have used Provigil and Nuvigil for the last year. The
medication gives me a better quality of life. I still have fatigue, but it
does help me make it through the day. The only struggle I have had is with
insurance. They are very hesitant to pay, because it is a very expensive
medication. I finally got it approved, but it took a while.
Good luck!!!!

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?
