Provigil

[Yes I have ADD....ok?]

Has anyone ever heard of taking Provigil for ADD? I am taking Adderall now with a fair amount of success, but my Doctor recomended trying Provigil istead for a little while. Its primary purpose it to treat narcolepsy...

I am an undiagnosed ADD sufferer...just ask my wife and my therapist...lol . However, despite my denial, my doc had recently written me a Rx for provigil...because I work nights and have had truoble staying awake. What I have found is that I am able to concentrate like never before. I am a full time student and where I have usually plagued with daydreaming and a whole slew of other thoughts I am not experiencing that whilst on the provigil....hmmmm ;D So take it for what its worth...even though I son't have add it seems to work very well for me.

I just started taking Provigil. I am a 24 yr old law student, and I have been diagnosed with ADD, and I also have sleep difficulties. I average about 2 hours of sleep a night. I have tried adderol, concerta, and straterra, but I couldn't handle any of them. I have only been on provigil for a little while, but it really seems to help me so far. I have tolerated it very well, no "Zombie" feeling, no cold sweats, no heart problems....but the last time I felt this awake I was falling out of a plane at 200 mph.
