I have used provigil in the past for sleepiness, I have sleep apnea
as well as TM, it worked okay for a while and then I couldn't tell. I
use it occasionally if I need to drive more than 30 minutes. It is a
CNS stimulant and I can't believe the press it is getting for non
specified use. The drug companies are little different from the guy on
the street selling speed and the ABC report makes it sound like such a
great thing----instead of a drug they haven't studied much. Sue

Hi - I am new to the group. Diagnosed with TM in 2010 and struggle
with extreme fatigue. I have used Provigil and Nuvigil for the last
year. The medication gives me a better quality of life. I still have
fatigue, but it does help me make it through the day. The only
struggle I have had is with insurance. They are very hesitant to
pay, because it is a very expensive medication. I finally got it
approved, but it took a while.
Good luck!!!!

Fellow sufferers;
Have any of you heard of Provigil? Used for narcolepsy, it has
found use by MS patients to counter the extreme fatigue common with
MS; and our situation is often similar in some respects.
I get this fatigue, sometimes so bad that I stumble from lunch,
slurring my speech, and collapse on anything available and must be
carried to a bed.
Would Provigil be useful??
Who has heard of this med?
