Hey Dalton,
When I first went back to work under all the medications it was horrible. Was falling asleep driving, had to pay 150% to any and all tasks and after about two sentences talking with someone I would fade out. Thought I would not be able to work. My support group mentioned Provigil so asked my Neurologist. He wanted me to try Nuvigil, some trouble with insurance but they said yes and that was about 2 + years ago. What a difference it made pretty much immediately. Now I drive like my old self, looking around, changing lanes and no drowsiness. At work, oh my, I could carry on conversations, mostly follow in meetings and be able to do things like program macros using VB. It was like day and night. I do take Klonopin and Cymbalta at night so it doesn't really affect my sleep. I hope you will be able to try it. Make it a great day, Deb From: Dalton Garis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 10:32 AM To: bobberino; Cindy McLeroy; Susan Kleinz; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [TMIC] Re: Provigil for TM? 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
