A lot of people seem to have a different experience, but to me, Provigil is just another stimulant.

My pdoc said Provigil wasn't supposed to give this kind of backlash. I'm encouraged to hear that it could be the Provigil making me feel so horrible -- at least there is something I can do, and I don't have to give up on the Lamictal.

In addition, the type of anxiety Provigil produces might make you feel suicidal. If Provigil is the culprit, you are likely to feel better within 48 hours of your last dose.
