In reply to Provigil vs. Alertec and effects of both on sleep, posted by clipper40 on November 19, 2008, at 20:10:09
> Since Provigil is so expensive, my pdoc said I could order Alertec from Canada with his script. I don't think Alertec is made by the same company so I'm wondering if it's as good. Does anyone here have any experience with Alertec or with both of these drugs?

> Also, I haven't taken this medication before so I'm wondering how often do people here take it and at what time(s). My doctor said that it might interfere with sleep at night because its effects can last a long time. Has sleep been a problem for any of you?Hah! People do respond SO differently sometimes! Take Racer's reaction to Provigil and mine is exact opposite on all counts. My mind was racing, but in a bad way. Felt no physical energy to offset racing mind. Agitated, irritable, and depressed. Also stayed up all night first night, insomnia next night, dropped it after that.
Whats funny is that I responded (many years ago, for ADD) beautifully to Ritalin! I loved it! Go figure.
Btw- not trying to be negative, just in case you don't respond as you'd like.
