> > Provigil is chemically distinct from traditional stimulants. Officially it is an Alpha 1-adrenergic agonist(also known as a 'engeroic drug') It is believed to increase the receptiveness of the brains alpha-1 receptors to the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, boosting alertness, memory and energy. Clinical trials (a small number) suggest it also has memory-improving and mood brightening effects. Provigal targets very specific regions of the brain believed to regulate 'normal wakefulness.'

Normally I'd go for that except believing in things (I thought) I understood has caused me to suffer. As in continuing to take provigil even though it was making me feel like a stoned zombie but discounting my perceptions because of what I 'knew' about the drug.

Not trying to be contrary-but your statement just made my wheels start turning.

Glad I understand paradoxical now-saves me a lot of trouble. :)
Peace,
