Good Morning Everyone (Anyone). I hope you guys are having a fruitful day.

Provigil is a newer anti-narcoleptic. If you would like the logistics of how Provigil came on the market, might I suggest this new search engine I learned about called Google. That is not the story I am telling.

If you do Google Provigil, you may find articles that refer to executives using the drug, mostly prescribed for MS fatigue, Cancer fatigue and Shift Work Syndrome, to become somewhat super human in their daily lives.

I am a 35 year old administrative professional female. I live in a Hippie Dippy town in the South (You would be surprised) that has about 200,000 people. I am prescribed xanax, ambien 10 mg a night, a prescription for hydrocodone 10/500 PRN for my damned hurt thing. Don't drink but do smoke I really like the hydrocodone for recreation, when possible (My monthly stipend is small and have a crazy high tolerance for anything, so 5 for one night is super counter productive to my pain needs). I also am a master of tapering and do not take opiates daily. I cannot stand amphetamines, Addy makes me a real weirdo. I cannot talk to anyone. My man person enjoys addy for work.

Earlier this summer, my someone was diagnosed with something and long story short, that someone gave me a Provigil for my man person to try. I gave him the pill and he took half. Claimed it was a cleaner speedy rush than adder and he preferred it to any other upper he had had. !st half at 9 am, 2nd half at 2. He did all the drudge work that we all put off at his job that day.

As I hate Speed, but am curious, I decided to try one on a Monday morning for work. I bit into the round white pill (no idea the mgs, Sorry :\ ). Within 20 minutes I felt the kick in, which I hate. I found myself apologizing to my man person for the mess I had left the night before. Not like me to even notice the mess I made. I then drove to work. On addy, with teeth grinding, I drive like an @sshole. On Provigil, the drive was not teeth grinding, nor was it tedious. I was just surprisingly 10 minutes early. I went into work and bit off another piece (this is amazing because I never take more addy). Provigil lasted a long time. Before the day was over, I had found a clause in a case that we had been working on for months, I had gone to three different grocery stores, had a massage and was actually able to focus on my breathing for over an hour. I was tweaked but not tweaking. I was 20 feet above the air and it was a sunny day. I bit into half of the second half (so 1/4 more) around 2 pm. Didn't do much. I was just working without thinking about working, but I was doing a better job at my job. The only tweak like thing about the onset was that I found myself annoyed with my music.

This is not the drug from Limitless (love that movie), but it is as close as I have ever known. Coke without the cloudiness and ego (well maybe some of the ego). The crash was nill. I slept great with just ambien and 100 mgs of benadryl (usual dosage). I might take the last one that I have in my purse now to see if I have have similar reactions than yesterday. Gonna take a half. Will repost if time permits.

Thanks for reading. I predict this one to be mega-huge. Best of days to everyone. :D

Hey there

I am a long term (15 years aprox) amphetamine user and I tried Modifinal recently too. It did seem to have a slightly speed like enhancing of concentration although i got absolutely no euphoria from it when taking the recommended dose. However one night i decided to test it recreationally so I took 10 tablets, mostly nasally, allong with some Oxycodone. Between the two drugs I got pretty wrecked, almost like I was on meth. BUT - The next 3 days were HELL. The next day i couldn't even talk. Luckily i was off work otherwise i'd have been in trouble. So i think (at least in combo with the opiate) it does have abuse potential but trust me the comedown is not worth it,

The other thing from when i was using it for its legitimate reasons was i did get some anxiety as it wore off and needed a valium or two to feel comfortable. But for keeping you awake on night shifts or helping concentration on written tasks I'd say it is moderately helpful.

Hello WC. Thank you for your story. Wow. 10? Impressive. Man person said same thing as he thinks taking two and going drinking would be a he great time. Was the crash more headaches or what?

I took the 1/2 tablet when I posted and I am flying through my workday and looking forward to cooking dinner tonight. Which, um, never happens. ;)

I feel a bit of the euphoria and I will take a Xanax when the workday has ended.
 
Yeha the crash was migraine strength headache, brain fog which made it hard to process things mentally, physical tiredness and fatigue, depressive feelings, the whole lot. Nasty!!

Yeah.... i don't think that much of it to be honest. Last time i took it because i'd had a meth bender a few days prior and was still really really tired, and had a date! So i took 2 or 3 to try and wake myself up for the date and appear 'normal' but the things made no difference and within 30 mins the girl I was with was asking what was wrong with me.... Sometimes on weekends I have to work from home (my job is full on) and when i do that i'll sometimes take a few as, like i said, they do seem to help concentration. 18 years of amphetamine use has kinda wrecked my attention span, and I have a rtrigger happy psychiatrist who gives me pretty much whatever i ask for.

Like most pharmaceuticals, if you use them for their intended use, at their intended dosage, they are fine. But whats the fun in that? :)
