Works For Fatigue But Not ADHD 02/08/16
Reviewed by: Location Not Given
I've found that Adderall works much better for my ADHD than Provigil. However, the Provigil did help me feel more awake and alert and provided relief from the fatigue of fibromyalgia. If you have a sleep disorder it would probably be more helpful, but for ADHD I definitely recommend trying Adderall first.

wonderful med 01/04/11
Reviewed by: Location Not Given
My fatigue was to the point that I was falling asleep at my desk at work and on the drive home . My legs ached so bad that I couldn't even shop for groceries do any housework. My depression was to the point that I considered suicide. After 3 days of this med, my life changed.. I felt like I was finally living again. I was getting it at a pain management center, but when I stopped going there ( due to loss of insurance).. my regular doctor had never heard of it and refused to discuss continuing the treatment. I hav not been able to do my usual job in over 3 yrs now because of the fatigue.. I sleep 12-14 hours a day now. I feel like my life is over

NO DRUGS 02/17/10
Reviewed by: Location Not Given
I do not recommend anyone taking drugs for Fibromyalgia symptoms. I have suffered from Fibro for about 2 years. I have tried just about every drug, and they are all just a temoprary relief of pain with huge side effects. Most people don't know that the problem usually comes from your stomach, and drugs just make it worst. I BEG ALL SUFFERERS TO PLEASE TRY PROBIOTICS, AND L-GLUTAMINE. YOU CAN BUY AT ANY HEALTH FOOD STORE. THEY REALLY WORK!!!

Extremely helpful for me 05/08/09
Reviewed by: Location Not Given
In addition to Fibromyalgia, I have Systemic Lupus Erythemetous (with positive lupus anticoagulant), Degenerative Disc Disease, Failed double-disc back surgery, Hypothyroidism, and Hypertension(OY!) So, I generally feel like complete crap all the time. And after 15+yrs, I'll tell ya, it gets no better with age. However, during those 15 yrs, I held a full time medical office job, sang in a blues band on weekends, and took complete care of my husband, my dog, and my home. I'm pretty proud of that. I have been on Provigil for over 10+ years...I take 2-4 tablets a day. I never had one side effect. I've been prescribed, and tried several antidepressants in the past, but they just made me fat and unhappy. Provigil actually gives me MOTIVATION. Recently, I unfortunately had the opportunity to do my own case study. Six wks ago, my insurance company decided my 10+yr-old script for Provigil suddenly needed a "PRIOR AUTHORIZATION" from my doctor's office, in order for them to cover it (most likely because, as with every other good drug, people started using it as a "recreational" drug, thus ruining it for the legitimate cases). So,I thought, "Whatever, I can live without it for a while". BOY, WAS I WRONG!! Not due to withdrawals, or anything of the sort, because it's not that kind of drug. But for the 6 wks it took for my authorization to go through, I literally did not want to get off the damned couch. I couldn't. Now, the reason most doctors want to prescribe antidepressants for Fibromyalgia, is because when you don't FEEL like doing anything, they assume it's a mental thing. And, yeah, you can start to feel worthless and hopeless...so, you MUST be depressed. They don't understand how someone could just feel too icky and too tired. I would lie on my couch all day, and and with all the ambition in the world, I'd write a long list of things to HOPEFULLY accomplish the following day. Of course, I couldn't do any of it. But it wasn't that I didn't NEED or WANT to do these things...in fact, I always thought I might be able to do it. So I was wasting away...sinking deeper and deeper into my "funk". But, It's not DEPRESSION...I don't feel depressed...I'm too tired to feel anything...I don't want to KILL MYSELF for Christ's sake...I just don't want to do ANYTHING...I'm just too tired. Personally, I think that feeling could be almost WORSE than depression. Mostly because you're so angry at yourself. You're angry that you used to be able to do everything your friends could do...angry because YOU KNOW that the best thing for you is to KEEP MOVING...get out...take a walk...call a friend or family member to catch up...But you can't...you just can't. And you don't WANT to be this way...you just are. Now, how on Earth are you supposed to explain that to anybody else? Anyway...I may seem worked up a bit...but it's just because I finally got my Provigil script back this afternoon...AND, after 6+wks of basic inactivity, I ALSO just got back from walking my dog for 5+ blocks, with my sister-in-law...because I happened to run into her on my way home from visiting my sister, and told her I'd actually like to walk with her! Now...I do take pain medication on a regular basis for my many ailments. However, while on Provigil, I find I need half as much. Granted, while you're sitting on the couch, doing nothing, you've got nothing else to do but think about your pain. My point is, for me personally, without Provigil (over the last 6 wks) I was completely sedentary, severely unmotivated, and yes, started to think I was becoming depressed. However, finally on Provigil again...I can GET OFF THE COUCH...actually motivate myself to take any invitation to have lunch or take a simple walk...or even just to do the damned dishes. I don't feel the need to nap every 1/2 hour. THIS makes me feel better. Sure...I still have pain...but at least now, I have the motivation and energy to try to DO something about it, or just forget it for a little while. And THAT makes me FEEL BETTER. You know, after 15+yrs of this stuff...I've come to the conclusion that it's not the "hopelessness" feeling of depression, that so many doctors are so robotically trained to diagnose and treat you for...It's the USELESSNESS that's the REAL problem. And from experience, the 5-6 different antidepressants that have been forced on me, with all their side effects, have never helped the uselessness. It BECOMES an emotional thing because you PHYSICALLY aren't able to do the things you need to do...because you're just too damned tired. Yeah, if you squitch on my "trigger points", they still hurt. Yes, after I do a bunch of stuff, I'm a bit tired. But at least I actually DID a bunch of stuff. I'm not a chemist...I don't know exactly how Provigil works. It is not "Speed", and my BP was is under better control when I'm on it. I'm not gonna run any marathons...it's just not my nature. All I know is that without it, I was an uncharacteristically uncommunicative couch potato. And that's no way to live...no matter how "sick" you might be. Not exactly a long story, short, but there's my "Provigil testimonial". Try it...It might just help you too.

Miracle Drug 08/23/08
Reviewed by: Location Not Given
Finally a drug that actually works! My worst symptoms are SEVERE fatigue, muscle pain and headaches. All my symptoms are all most completely gone and it has only been a week. I don't have any side effects to Provigil so far. I have more energy than I have had in 6 yrs and feel 10 yrs younger! I finally have my life back. I have had headaches 7 days a week for so long I can't remember when they started and now they are subsiding...That in itself is a miracle...Love this medication!! Hope it lasts.
