provigil

233622 tn?1279334905 I have been on 400 mg of provigil for about 5 or 6 years now. I don't take it all everyday, I cut them in half... some days take both of em... depends on how draggy I am feeling. My mom who has high blood pressure also is on provigil for narcolepsy (SPEELED HORRIBLY WRONG!) She had a heart attack back in April and provigil was one of the first drugs the heart doctor put her back on.

5509293 tn?1428531475 This is my first day on Provigil, taking 200 mg this morning. This is an attempt to replace Adderall 15 to 30 mg per day. Provigil walloped my blood pressure. It dropped by 10 points when I check 12 hours after taking the first dose. I've been lethargic most of today. I finally took an Adderall so I could function.
Avatar f tn My Provigil (100 mg) runs about $250 a month . . . and I thought that was bad!! What dosage are you on? Do meds vary that greatly across the country? A representative from my insurance company actually recommended that we have the doctor "justify" the medication, and there was a chance it would then be covered. I am in the process of doing this. Perhaps someone else will chime in with more info.
Avatar f tn I used a pill cutter to cut the 200 mg pills into quarters. I started with 50 mg (1/4 of 200 mg pill) and took just 50 mg a day until it seemed like I wasn't having much side effects at all from that. We didn't have any time schedule planned out in advance, nor did we set in stone what dosage I would go up to--they left it up to me to listen to my body to know what I could tolerate by seeing how my symptoms felt.
398059 tn?1447945633 I suffered through a morning hunched over back routine for probably a year before I read the side affects list on the provigil site. I was on the maximum dose 200 mg twice a day. I started taking a lower dose hoping that would help. I had switched perscription drug plams in Janruary. Humanna gave me one complimentary fill of my prescription then discontinued paying for it because I don't have shift workers syndrome or narcelepsy.
Avatar n tn 200 mg/5 ml, 250 mg/5ml and 400 mg/5ml. The strengths reflect the amount of the drug in 5 ml, or 1 tsp., of the suspension. A child who takes 5 ml of the 250mg/5ml dose, for example, is receiving 250 mg of amoxicillin. The recommended pediatric dosage varies from 25 mg/kg per day to 45 mg/kg per day, depending on the underlying infection, according to Rx List. The suspension should be shaken well and measured with a marked measuring spoon to ensure that the right dose is given.
Avatar f tn For the past months I would probably have benefited from an increased dosage of Provigil, but I dared not double the dose because it would also double the cost. I have opted to take the 100 mg, drink two cups of coffee, and take a nap as soon as I get home from work. I feel guilty enough as it is . . . three kids (two of them teens) and I am pulling from the family budget just to stay awake.
Avatar f tn I started taking folic acid last month after we began ttc but were unsuccessful. I'm not going to worry about it because we haven't been ttc for long. I read and was told by my friend, who is pregnant that you should take it before conceiving. I want to take the right amount but there seems to be a lot of differences in peoples suggestions for the correct dosage. My folic acid pills ate 400 mg. But I've read you need either 400, 600, or 800 mg per day.
Avatar n tn I unfortunately have oral and genital herpes (I've only had one partner so, yes, it only takes once!). Anyway, I keep reading that for suppression valtrex is once a day and acyclovir is 400 mg twice a day. My dr prescriped 800mg once a day. What's the difference, why would someone take acyclovir twice a day when they could just take it once? Is there an advantage to taking it twice a day? My second question is that when I am having an outbreak should I increase the dosage?
429700 tn?1308007823 Eventually a different insurance wanted Adderall twice a day, not three times a day, so I ended up on 30 mg twice a day. Adderall worked as well as Provigil. The tablets are scored so the twice a day Rx was no problem, I broke the tablets and took them as most effective for me. Many days I only took 45 mg, because by the time I felt a need for the last 1/2 tablet, it was too late in the day to take more stimulant.
Avatar f tn ) Anyway, I had previously had Amantadine, which did zilch, even at 200 mg. I am authorized to take 100 mg of Provigil, and can go to 200 if necessary. From what I recall, many of you take half a pill, so I guess that's 50. Have looked up the drug info online and it said side effects include nausea and anxiety, among other things, including a serious rash.. It also said that interactions with quite a lot of other drugs are possible.
1088527 tn?1425313375 I started taking provigil yesterday and wow I cant believe the energy I scrubbed the shower down washed the cabinets down went food shopping then took dog to dog park for 4 hours then home and dinner usually just one of these activities wipes me out . I am glad that I have energy but I feel jittery my legs feel like they are going hundred miles and hour and I am stuttering badly in the am I think I am trying to talk faster then I can get it out.
797195 tn?1240579823 I have been on Nuvigil for a long time. My copay is $60 but it has increased managability of my daily life. The first month I barely slept so I cleaned out all the cabinets.... but after that things were more balanced. Take it early early in the day.
Avatar f tn i took 1000 mg riba in the a.m. and 800 in the p.m.
Avatar m tn Has anyone on here taken Provigil? my doctor gave me a sample pack and told me to try it for my chronic fatigue. I was on a prednisone pack and felt fantastic until it started to taper off, now its my 2nd day off it and i feel like ****, and im supper tired... I tried 100 mg of the provigil, and i have had a screaming headache all day. (had to take tynelnol). anyone else have this?
1710955 tn?1309446473 The propanolol increases the Provigil in the blood. I only take 100 mg. of Provigil. I have tried other medicines for fatigue and they don't work for me. I don't have any adverse effect and it actually makes me feel human. Typically, the medicines used for attention deficit disorder or ADHD are used to combat fatigue.
1856494 tn?1340542614 Really detest that helpless feeling. Doctor called yesterday to suggest I only take the morning Riba dose (400 mg) and hold back on the evening dose (400 mg) until my next weekly blood draw. The Doc is raising my Procrit an additional 20,000 units from 40,000 but I haven't received it yet because my insurance won't OK it until Dec 8th. Wow. My daughter came to see me and started to cry. She is beyond worry. What a burden I have become. Eee Gads. Lord have mercy.
Avatar f tn Four-hundred mg is generally as high as most doctors will go (as per the PDR, I believe), but I've known people who were prescribed on as much as 450 mg. Going higher than this recommended limit increases risk of seizures. Your doctor also needs to assess your general medical condition, any other meds that you may be on, etc. My personal experience is there's no difference between generic and brand-name, aside from cost (and co-pay).
408795 tn?1324935675 or * Daily fixed-dose combination of ledipasvir (90 mg)/sofosbuvir (400 mg) plus weight-based RBV (1000 mg [75 kg]) for 12 weeks is recommended for patients with HCV genotype 1a or 1b infection who have compensated cirrhosis, in whom prior PEG-IFN and RBV treatment has failed.
