Comment:
I gave it a month and barely go through it! Did have to add 20mg of Adderall to stay awake though. Provigil seems to be the only thing that worked but ins. co. won't pay for it. I think I'll ask if it is possible to take 300mg of the Nuvigil and see what happens. The past 2 months I did the Adderall- hypnogic halluc. come more than before on it. Did not have it so much with Provigil.

Comment:
I was recently diagnosed with narcolespy, and started taking 150mg nuvigil the first few days were fine then I was getting tired about mid-way through the day. My doctor increased the nuvigil to 250mg and it was too much! Does anyone else have the problem of stiff neck? Provigil hurt my jaw. I have been taking 150mg and it helps me stay awake but I still get tired.

I have been having episodes of dosing off and having major hallucinations. Tried NUVIGIL, and it worked the very first day. No nausea or headaches so far. I would recommend taking it with a meal/breakfest. So far so good!

Nuvigil has been a lifesaver for me. I have spent my days and weeks in bed. Since I have been on it- 60 days have passed with out crawling back to bed. Energy, enjoying life again.
