For Multiple Sclerosis "I tried Provigil 2 years ago but I got the jitters. The fatigue has become so bad in the last 6 months that I decided to try it again. This time I had success. At first, I only took it when I needed it, but finally I gave up having so many nonfunctional days that I started taking it every day - I take just 100 mg. My days are much more fulfilling. I have to actually remind myself NOT to overdo, or I'll still get wiped out. It's so good to feel like I can do things again."

"I have been taking Provigil for a week, and I have had very little hunger. It is not giving me the jitters at all. I have taken just about every medication except Ozempic on a regular basis, only to gain any weight lost! I am hopeful this will give me energy and continue to suppress my appetite."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I took Provigil for the first time yesterday, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I felt hopeful. My tremors decreased, and I had energy for the first time in years. I am so happy and hope never to stop taking it. Magical little pill."

For Narcolepsy "Provigil works great for me, at 200 mg once in the morning. I usually feel dull-witted and fatigued, but I don't suddenly 'switch off.' After about a week of steady doses, however, I often develop a bad headache and have to quit taking the stuff for a few days. Maybe that's a good thing if it keeps me from getting habituated. Ritalin did nothing except make my hands shake."

For Narcolepsy "You get used to this and need to take more, or not take it (therefore not drive) for about a week. But only 'helpful' insights will be printed (after editing). So my saying $3600 a month for 60 pills? Really? Are they worth their weight in gold? They don't seem to have any side effects, for me. Other than tremors. So that's a plus. Should they cost more than most people make in a year? I am disabled and receive $10,000 a year. After researching, I'm not finding any major payouts from the company, due to lawsuits. (I realize awards are confidential, but there haven't been many cases. Who am I kidding? This won't be printed. I just had to say something because the cost is abominable. Ok. I c $$ How did you do the A-spam thing? Impressed!"
