If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Hi there,
I've recently been given a Rx of PROVIGIL to help my severe lack of energy... It is normally given to people with sleep disorders and chronic fatigue. It has made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE in my life. Has anyone else used this med, and does anyone have concerns about it?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike, I use Provigil and it has made a world of difference for me as well. I have done some reading about it (PDR, articles, etc) and so far I haven't read anything that gives me concern.

Over on www.remedyfind.com it seems like the lupus patients use this drug a lot for fatigue. Some do really well on it, on others it is too strong.

i take it sometimes. it does help but gives me terrible aniexty so then i have to take xanax with it. i find i can not fall alsleep if i take it in the am. by 2-3 am i am still awake. so i take it sometimes when i really need it. i fee lslightly nausa on it and so i took half instead of 200 mg, broke it in half. that helped some with the aniexty but it causes my skin to dry out. some kids were given it and it may have caused stevens-johnson syndrome, skin blistering.
i may try another like ritalin or aderall if this aniexty keeps up with provigil. it does work though if only for a short time. if you take it every day, you can build a tolerance to it then it ages out.
recently DX w/ PA/AS, FMS. have 11 screws & 4 metal plates in neck from crash in 02' neck fused @ c-5-6-7 anterior/posterior, laminectomy, corpectomy, foraminotomy. left shoulder had torn rotator re-attached, multi-level HNP in spine etc.
