Provigil (modafinil) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: Well if you want to be totally awake, 200mg is the way to go. Doctor started me on 100mg twice a day then moved me to 200mg twice today. Definitely awake now. Sometimes I feel like I should be asleep but just can't. I'll probably go back to 100mg twice a day. At least now, I don't fall asleep anytime I stop moving for 5 minutes.

Provigil (modafinil) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome: I have been on this medicine for three days for treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness that is not helped by proper use of CPAP. Previously I have struggled to stay awake at work and I am very happy to report that this medication has helped me to stay awake quite nicely with no trouble falling asleep at night. I am currently taking the 100 mg dose.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: I too have MS and have been taking this drug since it came out - about 6 years. Because Provigil is not an amphetamine it doesn't make you "high", you just feel like you have energy. Provigil does not interfere with your normal sleeping pattern, if you take it in the morning. I feel like my old self when I take it. I also know now when I do not take it (I'm on 200mg). I can feel the difference, what I thought was depression was actually a lack of energy.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: Works great for my Narcolepsy; the only complaint I have is that the price is prohibitive. It is the only medication that has worked effectively for my condition and with dramatic results.

Provigil (modafinil) for Multiple Sclerosis: I was prescribed this medication to deal with the overwhelming fatigue that sometimes hits with Multiple Sclerosis. I am working full time, and cannot afford to be overly sleepy. I am very impressed with how it works. It stimulates me mentally, without creating the "hyper" physicality of a general stimulant like caffiene. I am able to take the medication on a when required basis - not more than 200 mg in a day - and it works great. Many days I do not take it at all. It has a long half-life, however.

Provigil (modafinil) for Narcolepsy: I experienced much greater effects from Provigil on initial exposure than I have during regular, ongoing treatment. Had the initial effects (perfect alertness without excessive excitability) continued it would merit a rating of 10. However, I still find it indispensable and would be hard-pressed to give up that particular prescription.
