Because I have had similar crashes with Adderall and Ritilin, my pdoc and I agree the problem was caused by Provigil "poop out." I felt great for the first 2 days or so that I took it, but then things went quickly downhill. (i only took it a total of 5 days.)

> > vickyre: Hi Cindylou. Sorry about your experience
with provigil. I must do well with meds
(I'm on 4 now) and I really like this provigil
(so far). I take 100mg in the morning
and am good to go till around noon, then I take another 100mg
provigil and up and at em again.
what other meds are you taking again?
