What I want to know is why do I have sheer exhaustion? I am so tired! How long will this last?

I am in week 42 of tx and my trial doc prescribed 100 mg of Provigil to help with my fatigue (he can't/won't prescribe procrit). My hgb was at 9.4 as of last Friday after being in the mid 10's for a while. I am sleeping "ok" at night with Ambien CR, but have been getting close to worthless (mentally and physically) as far as work goes the past few weeks. I'm wondering if this will really help or possibily aggravate my dizziness from stairs and mild exertion.

Provigil is much safer than amphetamines. It does not carry the addiction potential. It actually does make you more wakeful, but it is a stimulant. My bp goes up slightly and at the higher doses I now feel a little zippy or pressured.

However, because it was the only thing that worked for me after trying other options, I determined that the side effects were worth it. After a long hiatus, I recently tried Provigil again. While it worked better than the others, the results were unpredictable at best. So, when Nuvigil hit the market, I asked my doctor for a script, and he provided me with some samples. I have been taking the medication now for two months and have been thrilled with the results.

I even feel the effects of the Provigil the next day (though not nearly as strong). Actually the Provigil fades out about 8 hours after I take it, but I sure do sleep well that night! The next day, I have slightly more energy than usual. I love Provigil, but, due to the chest fullness, can't use it very often so that is why I was considering Adderall (I'm also ADD). In your opinion, how did the Adderall compare to the Provigil in terms of fatigue reduction?

You are likely to push yourself beyond safe limits and could end up totally collapsed in a flare - and we never know how long or incomplete any given recovery from a flare will be. I have taken one or the other of these drugs since 2006. It was prescribed for sleep apnea then (three years before my official MS diagnosis) as it is now. It has never made me feel energetic. It simply keeps me from falling flat-on-my-face asleep during the day.

I HAVE HAD MS FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS. I WOULD NEVER MAKE IT WITH OUT PROVIGIL. I JUST GET SO FATIGUE ! IT REALLY HELPS ME . TAKE CARE !

So now my Dr is thinking of prescribing Provigil. Has anyone tried this drug. If so does it work well for fatigue. I read that it helps with focus but I haven't read anything about it helping with tiredness.

Mine only lasted probly. 6 days...last 2 was very light and almost nothing...

I'm 7 weeks and 6 days, just wondering how long does morning sickness last during pregnancy.
