Does This Work For You?

I really can't tell if Provigil helps me or not. I take it to help me stay awake due to tiredness associated with MS. Does anyone else take this and do you feel like it really helps you?

How long have you been taking it?

It does help many people, as you can see from Jill's response.

The FDA lists the side effects of Provigil as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, elevated blood pressure, and accelerated heart rate.

Are you on any other medications?

He Debbi: For me it really does make a difference. I type at work and kept getting tired spells and falling asleep at the computer. I would fall asleep, start dreaming and wake up and this would go on repeatedly and I had to recheck my work so much that I was not getting enough done. Provigil has really helped in that department. I rarely have that problem. I have been off the Provigil a couple of times and take 1/2 a caffeine pill (even though I'm drinking coffee, doesn't help) but when I do this I have to wait for the pill to work, where as if I take Provigil it works as a preventive agent so I don't get the problem to begin with. Stay with it for a while and you will probably notice the difference.
