<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3018621"]<b>One Man's Opinion - Provigil</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I'm in my early sixties. I have been managing to live my life with sleep issues, although much of it seemed to be almost underwater, for decades. Seven or so years ago, after mentioning, (to my then uninterested doctor), for at least three years, of an enormous sense of always needing sleep, I was tested for Apnea. I was unaware of the disorder, and I think he must have read an article. After at least a half dozen sleep tests I have been diagnosed as having not only Apnea, (not narcolepsy) but for some reason (unknown) my brain also doesn't recognize that I have slept well. (when I have) My primary care physician doesn't really believe me, I don't think, but I deal with my sleep doctor for this. With time, proper use of the sleep Apnea machines have created better sleep, but no real change in my wakefulness, or my dread need for what are usually unsuccessful naps Last year I was put on Provigil. The first time I thought it was too strong (200 mg in the morning) I refused to take it after that. Six months later I agreed to take it at a lower dose. At that point, along with properly using the Apne,a machine, Provigil has slowly brought on serious improvement in my life. I now take 100 mg in the morning and I feel relaxed, clear headed and productive, for some six hours after rising. (give or take a half hour) But everyday from midday on is different. I have taken as much as 350 mg in a day (rare) and as little as 100 mg during the entire day. (equally rare) It is also unpredictable how doses of 50 mg to 100 mg, taken anywhere from noon to five PM, will affect me. During my afternoons, a 50 mg dose will prove clearing, and helpful. At times 50 mg will bring on a clenched jaw and a sense of heaviness around my forehead. Sometimes an added dose will prove necessary, but at other times, no matter how much I may have taken, it has just gotten even more burdensome. Sometimes I have noticed an excellent response to closing my eyes after 50 mg in the afternoon, followed by a short fifteen minute nap, where the sensation has been shallow wakefullness, or of not having slept at all. Strangely, I have never felt that taking Provigil even as late as 6 PM has interferred with my night time sleeping, as the next day always seems good, albeit with the assistance of the machine and the 100 mg dose in the morning, and coffee of course. (I wake usually at 6:30 AM). I have experimented with caffee all during the day, but now only take one cup in the morning. I will continue to take Provigil, but I do wish that my afternoons could be as regular and clear headed as are my mornings. It is now 12:37 PM and I have no sense of needing a second dose. Perhaps I will later, or not, as I said, the afternoons and the evenings are always different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
