provigil withdrawal symptoms

In the end, I was tested for sleep apnea and ended up being diagnosed with RLS, which can cause the same symptoms. The provigil worked great, but like Eagle said, it is very expensive. It supposedly has less addictive properties from meth, but I can see where it would be abused and it is. My advice, talk with your doctor, if he/she thinks it is something that is right for you, give it a try, but stick to the strict dosing instructions.

Will it do anything to bring back those initial withdrawal symptoms. Am I cheating by doing this. Please remember, I am not getting high off of this and I do need to sleep because I have 2 kids. How will this hurt me down the road.When will the restless leg syndrome stop. I also have a few 0.5 ativan pills. Someone told me that these will help, but I am not sure how they will help. I know that they are for anxiety, but to be honest I think the provigil has controlled that part.

It has been now one month and a half that I began reducing the dose and I am into my second week of not taking the drug at all. However, I am still experiencing very bad withdrawal symptoms, extreme fatigue, deep depression with suicidal thoughts, and complete lack of motivation and focus. I wonder if anyone out there has had this experience with Concerta.

Also, since anxiety and jitteryness - the feeling of jumping out of your skin - are prime symptoms of withdrawal - the provigil being a stimulant will almost certainly exaserbate these symptoms. Just know that you should start to feel better within another day or two. Get some light exercise and take some warm baths - they will help too.

com - Stop using Reglan and call your doctor at once if you have tremors or uncontrolled muscle movements, fever, stiff muscles, confusion, sweating, fast or uneven heartbeats, rapid breathing, depressed mood, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself, hallucinations, anxiety, agitation, seizure, or jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes). After you stop taking Reglan, you may have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as headache, dizziness, or nervousness.

Does anyone have information on Provigil Abuse? Is it possible? My husband was addicted to prescription Oxy for 5 years and since getting off (3 years ago) has been on several different meds to overcome depression, etc. He has been taking Provigil for 2 years, but recently he runs out of his prescription before the refill date and he stays awake for days on end, between 7-10 days.

I went to my pcp yesterday, had one of my very violent myoclonic jerks while she had me on the exam table and I nearly gave her a heart attack. But, she began to realize that some weird stuff was going on with me and called a neurologist and had me go see him an hour later. He was a little disappointing in that he was more interested in talking about horses (I board horses) than talking about my symptoms.

My doctor originally said he was going to prescribe Provigil for me but after hearing all of my other symptoms (inability to stay focused and complete tasks...) he decided to start me on Adderall (10 mg 2x/day). This medication makes me feel very jittery and sometimes anxious. I've tried reducing the dosage tohalf and making sure I eat before taking it but at the very least I still feel sort of buzzed. I've been on it 5 days.

So 100 mg is great - makes me feel like a normal person again with energy and full mental acuity. Trouble is, like Jules L5S1, I get heart symptoms from Provigil - so I have to limit it to only once or twice a week. Usually I get a sustaining day-after-Provigil-effect so even the day following Provigil I have slightly more energy than usual - enough to get by. I do have to get more rest, though, later in the day on days when I take Provigil - or else I have really scary symptoms.

I have no problems with someone seeking clonidine, a benzo short term, or even provigil for withdrawal symptoms...but my friend, get a legit script for them...get only a couple weeks worth, and take as prescribed. Trust me, getting through the withdrawals is the easy part of this.

I have been considering Adderall because of my extreme fatigue and my inability to tolerate Provigil for more than about one day per week (gives me heart symptoms - chest fullness if I take it more often). I sure do look forward to Mondays though (that is the day of week I usually take it). 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!

I read lots of good reviews about Provigil. It's a stimulant-like drug but it doesn't have the same withdrawal effects as adderall or ritalin. I tried straterra once and I had horrible side effects. I'm just mentioned this because you probably also suffer from anxiety. Try to avoid drugs if you are just going though momentary life problems...

Hi All Posted a few days ago maybe a week about fatiuge alot of you advised to go my GP which i will and i have a rheumy and consultant appoinment in august so will bring it up there i have researched what is out there and the most popular seem to be this provigil but it is a has something to do with the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain and i have been on requip and other dopamine meds as my rheumy seems to think these are greast but my body hates them i go mad on them!!

However, someone here pointed out that Nuvigil might just be a way the makers of Provigil have to keep Provigil users paying for Trade name drug a little longer (since Provigil will be going generic soon). However, you might consider just having your doctor order a few pills of Nuvigil to see if it could help you. Also, regarding the Provigil: Make sure its expiration date is a long time off. I have found that can make a difference - that it gets weaker with time.

The medications I have used are provigil and adderall, and I don't take them every day, so tracking them would be helpful. (I currently take provigil.) Tracking the degree of sleepiness is also helpful, since I am sleepy almost every day and a yes/no doesn't do much. Others with narcolepsy might benefit from tracking sleep paralysis but fortunately I don't have that problem. That being said, I really like all the trackers here.

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.

There are certain common side effects associated with its use like headache, dizziness, difficulty in falling asleep, drowsiness, nausea, heartburn, confusion and burning, tingling and numbness of skin. There could be certain withdrawal symptoms associated with it. Dizziness could be part of this sudden stopping of the drug. Consult a neurologist for the needful. Hope this helps. Take care.

I know that Provigil today. It is nice to have good nsurance again. I hope it will give me some energy again. Not sure but, I seem to have had more energy to day already after only one pill. But, that might have been my hopes more than the medication. Anyone else have a memory of their first dose and energy effects. How about the first week?

I have symptoms that some people say are consistent with narcolepsy. However, all I have seen are people with severe narcolepsy, and I'm not as bad as them. I do have very vivid dreams that can be stressful to me. I can write whole books on my dreams because they are so vivid. They are so stressful sometimes that I wake up sweating. I can fall asleep quick. As in I can take an short nap, say an hour, and still dream. I do not sleep well at night and have very interrupted sleep.

I don't have MS (so it appears), but I have quite a few similar symptoms, including dizziness and the related brain fog and fatigue. Back in 2000, neuro prescribed Provigil, saying "we used to use Ritalin for this" but that Provigil is now favored because of fewer side effects. Provigil was very helpful for both fatigue and cognition, although I didn't like the late-afternoon "letdown" effect I got with it. It was rather unpleasant.

m glad your doc is treating the fatigue, but I wonder why the Ritalin instead of the usually more favored Provigil. Have you tried and failed Provigil or something? Yes, people have been helped by Ritalin and it's (better, I think) cousin Adderall for the symptoms of Cog Fog and the ADD it can cause. I'll be interested in hearing how well it works for fatigue. I thank the stars for you finding such a good doctor. They are a treasure!

I still feel pressure in my temples and forhead even though I have stopped taking Provigil. Can you have withdraws from Provigil?

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.

Is anyone familiar with the drug provigil or monafinil for enery and depression...? It is a drug for narcolepsy....wakes me up but not sure about use during tapering tabs...
