It's hard to be outwardly assertive and mentally self-assured when I feel "worn down". But overstimulation is bad, too. So for me, it's a real balancing act.

have to tell you.....i really like this stuff!!!! I think the prozac is what has been causing my anxiety and I really have been better the last two days since I have been taking the provigil. I don't get it. I am not sleeping during the day, in fact I hope I sleep a few good hours tonight, but I think I do feel a little "brighter" mood and more mentally alert. Today was the first day I took 100 mg. 2 x/day. So far so good. Keep your fingers crossed! elise
