If it's on your mind and it has to do with multiple sclerosis in any way, post it here.

For those who use Provigil...

Post by Bubba »

If you dont mind me asking... How much do you take? I have found out that if I take two pills @ 200mg each, that they work for me. I work nights so I took 400mg when I woke up around 2:00pm, then 400mg more while at work around 9:00pm. They worked great doing it that way. Is that to much? I am 6'2" and 290lbs on the hoof. I figured my with my size, maybe I just needed more. They seem to last about six hours. What is ya'lls opinion?

Hey Bubba-
So sorry the fatigue is slamming you. Jeff takes 200 mg of provigil at 11am, and that gets him thru the day (He's 6'2"-190). I think the 400mg should be OK (double check with your doc) but there's no where to go from there if you're really beat. Can you get by at 200mg? Maybe try some supplements, too. Jeff loves his EGCG/quercetin mix. Lance Armstrong sells it as an energy drink (FRS), but Jeff just takes the capsules, and it REALLY helps.
