> I took 100mg modafinil (Provigil) four times a day. It caused a mild tremor and a mild 'buzzy' feeling. I think it made me a bit dumber than normal, I kept forgetting what I was doing and making stupid mistakes! It could have been because I didn't sleep that well last night though. I'll try it again tomorrow.
>Hi Ed,
400 mg Provigil could very well cause insomnia (especially if you're taking it divided into four doses daily). I also found that taking 300 mg at once in the am caused overfocus, leading to various problems (not what I'd call 'stupid mistakes' but certainly not ideal directions of energy). I would imagine taking 100 mg at intervals over an eight-hour period would lead to comparable plasma levels through much of the day.
Oddly, Provigil eliminates tremors I have.
