Provigil

Has anyone taken Provigil for fatigue? My dr just prescribed this to me…

My doctor prescribed it for me, but my insurance company wouldn’t pay for it :frowning:

Would love to know if it helps.

Provigil works pretty well. I started out on 200 mg, but have been bumped up to 300 mg. Have been taking it for about 2 months now, but can feel the fatigue setting in again.

Provigil is a miracle drug for some of us. I did well for a couple weeks and then it petered out. My new doctor has identified adrenal fatigue and explained that after being on the Provigil a while, the adrenals get the message that the Provigil is taking care of things, and stop producing some important (place a medical term here, like cellular rejuvenator, or something like that). I’m not good with details, but when she explained it, it made sense. I had the same experience with Prednisone.

It’s amazing how many different conditions intermix with EBV.
