Thank you very much for these articles. I have found a place online that sells 200mg pro vigil for around $1.56/pill. Any interest? Because I have no insurance and am paying around $6.00/day for my medications already (let's see how Keppra works to control my seizures!).

Provigil has been discussed at many of the previous symposia as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_wsNfjwsHk&feature=gv The above link will take you to one of the videos during the 2004 Symposium in which Dr. Schapiro discussed fatigue in TM. Hope these help answer your questions. Yes, Provigil has been proven to be helpful in patients with TM experiencing extreme fatigue.

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? Dalton H. Garis Flushing, Queens New York, USA Mobile: 718-838-0437 Landline: 917-285-2047
