> May I ask what time are you taking the Provigil? My pdoc just gave me some samples I think 200mg. I am scared that if I take it too late that I will have insomnia. I take 25mg Seroquel for sleep already. I really want want to try it but I am scared. I don't know why. Thanks.

Dear Zeliva,The great thing about Provigil is that it specifically does not interfere with sleep, that is, when you want to put your head down (even in the daytime), you >can< fall asleep. They call it a 'wakefulness agent.' Cute, huh? Fighter pilots on large doses, taking it for days, who then need to sleep when the mission is over, can fall asleep without any problem. I think this drug is a small miracle. It sure changed my apathy, hopelessness, and ADD symptoms around, and very quickly, too. So don't be afraid, Zeliva! Provigil will soon be one of your best med-friends.
If I were you, I would snap or cut that 200 mg tab in half, and start with only 100mg, first thing in the morning. After a month, you can try the 200 mg. That's just me, though. I actually went more slowly, and did 150 in between the 100 & the 200.
There is lots of info on the web about Provigil, so Jack Smith, just plug 'military' or 'armed forces' and 'provigil' into google, and you'll turn up some interesting articles.
best,
Wendy
