If taken in the AM early, sleep is a non-issue for me (other than my usual bipolar sleep issues, that is). It totally keeps me awake, but not in a spun-out sort of way like the Adderall sometimes did for me. All in all, it seems to work great. The only potential issue is insurance. There is no way most of us could afford even the generic (about $700/mo here) without good insurance coverage. Might be worth checking out. It could work.
Hi,
I just saw your reply. I will ask my doctor about Provigil when I see her in a few weeks. I'm glad it's working for you! Thanks!
