I am on PROVIGIL for MS and I have never felt better I have dropped 30 pounds and I no longer sleep 8-10 hours a night and or require a nap. I also was wondering if it helped other things because I feel better than I have felt in years and that is the only thing I have added to my Medications.

Hi,<br><br>I have also MS and take Provigil. I am still working and hope to do so for a while. Before Provigil I had trouble making it through the day and was afraid that I have to stop working soon. <br>I wake up rested an ready to start a new day ! I am mentally more alert and I am no longer depressed and moody. My family noticed this first.<br>I can clean my house again and even started baking and cooking again.<br>I lost 40 lbs and that was good for the MS. <br><br>My doctor keeps saying " Provigil is not supposed to do that for you".<br>Well, I believe it does. All I take is Betaseron and Provigil and Vitamins. <br>You figure !

I have terrible sleep disturbances and nitemares. I wakeup feeling very achy and I am sleepy all day. I can hardly function and I force myself to do things even tough I am drowsy. I am a caregiver and I have to function with a clear head. I do a lot of impossible tasks being seepy and drowsy. I was wonderfng if Provigil woud help me. I am afraid to try it. I have been diagnosd with sleep apneal but the machine never helped.<br>I ave been everywhere for help and nothing helps. I cannt sleep normally, I take ambien for years. No other sleep medication helps me and I still I need to get some slep even though it is horrible Please comment

I suffered a traumatic brain injury (tbi) in February, 2003. I have returned to work half-time and feel exhausted at all times. My life consists of resting to work, resting after work. I do not have a life! I am unable to do any social activities or anything else. I loved to cook, entertain, and read. The tbi has changed my life. I justI just started taking provigil today. I noticed that I felt like folding clothes, making dinner etc. I haven't had a nap today. A miracle! Now I am worried that I am not resting as much. Should I worry? I can't believe how alert I feel.

i have ms and the dr put me on provigil because i was doing a lot of day sleepig aftger a good nights rest. i would like to take off 25 pounds but the provigil has not had any affect on my weight but has been a wonderful drug for the sleepiness. isnt ms terriblew?
