Going to try to get Provigil.
Going to try to get Provigil.
I see my doctor on Monday. I will ask him about Provigil. Has anyone here tried it?
I'm at my wits end here with this fatigue.

You can also check the info on WebMd, but they might leave out the bad stuff.

Re: Going to try to get Provigil.
I know how you feel. I've been considering the same thing, but have been having trouble finding much useful info, even after searching the forum several times for provigil. I started a thread on the same topic last week, and I got some helpful replies. I worry about starting a new med, because as one of the laws of thermodynamics goes "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" - in other words, side effects, withdrawal, trouble sleeping, who knows.
I wish you luck. Are you having good results from your sleep apnea therapy?

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Re: Going to try to get Provigil.
I should modify what I said about finding information through searching the forum - I am sure that there is useful information, but I read through the first three or so pages of results before I posted on the topic and didn't find much that was useful to me personally (and by that I mean my own personal situation) and I didn't take (or have) the time to go through the 1000+ pages of results. You could very well do better than I at finding out the info you need.
Do you think that you maybe need to optimize your CPAP therapy a bit more? I have been struggling getting the therapy to work, but I just started on ASV, and I am actually feeling like it might start working for me now. Last night, however, we had the power go out for about 4+ hours, and wow - what a difference, my mood just plummeted again. I feel stupid, useless, unable to focus on anything, just generally having my mind go into all sorts of dark places. I really do know how depressed you are feeling, it's rough and it sucks, and I know you're as tired of it as I am.
I wish there was a magic bullet. One of my concerns with starting a medication like that is I'm afraid that when I do actually start feeling better, I won't be sensitive enough to notice it, or the meds themselves might prevent me from actually feeling better. I do think some people have good results and are able to use the meds intermittently, as needed. Nothing is ever easy, is it?
I really do hope you start feeling better.

protip, use google, the site search function kinda sucks.mossytreesprite wrote:I should modify what I said about finding information through searching the forum - I am sure that there is useful information, but I read through the first three or so pages of results before I posted on the topic and didn't find much that was useful to me personally (and by that I mean my own personal situation) and I didn't take (or have) the time to go through the 1000+ pages of results.

site:cpaptalk.com provigil and other search terms you'd like.
Get OSCAR

Re: Going to try to get Provigil.
I have to agree with you there, Palerider, now that I think of it. I tend to get great answers (from cpaptalk) when I use some specific search terms in google, but not so much when searching within the results on the site directly. I will definitely take that advice and run with it... It will save me some text trudging to be sure.

Re: Going to try to get Provigil.
one of the things that annoys me about the site search is that it doesn't show you the part of the post that matches, or even the part of the post that's the post, it will often show the quotes instead of the post itself in the results.mossytreesprite wrote:I have to agree with you there, Palerider, now that I think of it.

Re: Going to try to get Provigil.
Well, here's another trick. If you save the search, it does show you where it is in the post. Click on the on my post above or quoted below.palerider wrote:one of the things that annoys me about the site search is that it doesn't show you the part of the post that matches, or even the part of the post that's the post, it will often show the quotes instead of the post itself in the results.

Re: Going to try to get Provigil.
I'm thinking of trying a full face mask; I had forgotten my obvious mouth leak problem (I talked about it on the SSSSS thread). Maybe I can give that a try before more medication.
Can anyone recommend a good mask that isn't too expensive. Bear in mind I just paid $1000 for car repair.
