Sorry, I missed this one. Provigil seems to make people more edgy and cranky at the doses it takes to work as a stimulant. I have found just a little 5-10 mg of adderall xr to be much less problematic in general. However, for bipolar both are sorta iffy IMO. Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts and basically causes uninhibited release of all neurotransmitters which wakes us up, makes us feel good etc... Provigil is much more selective in its action, and usually just wakes people up w/o the feel good part, and that is why it is less addictive.
