I started very cautiously with about 25 mg (1/4 of a 100 mg tab), but soon found that 100 mg was fine for me. My impression is that most people take between 100 and 200 mg/day; I seem to recall that the clinical trials for Provigil involved doses of up to 800 mg.
I think that Provigil can be taken PRN (=as-needed), and is used this way by some people to combat fatigue. However, I'm not sure if its antidepressant benefits would be consistent without regular use. I really don't know, since I only used it fairly briefly, then switched to Adderall (which helps me more with concentration).
I've certainly felt the energy-inducing effects of Provigil after a single dose (i.e., it produced positive effects for me without requiring weeks of adjustment etc.).
It's worth a try, and you should be able to get some free samples from your doctor. Good luck!
