I take the provigil for 2 reasons: to compensate for the dragginess that comes from being depressed, and to help w/ a sleep disorder called "delayed sleep phase syndrome". If I don't work very hard at it I go to sleep later and later and sleep forever. I also use a high-intensity light in the morning and take neurontin and elavil when I go to bed.
I take 200 mg. When I took 300 I got jittery. I'm not quite as inert as I used to be, so I suppose it's working. I don't really notice it; I've even taken naps when I haven't felt well.
My pdoc gets lots of free samples. You might ask.
I had problems w/ wellbutrin at first, but I took XR or SR or whatever they call the extended release form, and that was okay. Then I went back to the regular stuff because it's a bit more of a boost and you can take a slightly higher dose. Counteracted some of the sexual problems of SSRIs.
