> Don't rule out other sleeping disorders. Apnea, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome. It could be med. side effects, or maybe not. (I spent two years wondering why I slept all the time until, duh, I finally went to a sleep doc who discovered I am narcoleptic.)

hi leisig,
iwas on 400mg provigil a day, but it soon wore out and i started napping during the day again. I really hate it that despite taking 2-3 hour naps yesterday i was in the bed last nite at 8pm and woke up at 8am this morning. jjjjjjjjeeeeeeeeeez
this is ridiculous. and after I eat!! forget it, its definately time to lie down. I think it really is the perphenazine, so I have lowered the dose to 2mg a day, so i'm waiting to see if and when this will work.
thanks again for posting!
