Continuing from where the previous poet aborted. HOPEFULLY this will get us to the end!)
I started Provigil to counteract undesired laziness and occasional fatigue effects that may have been worsened by the known-for-sedation Serzone, especially as my body tried to get used to it. I never would have expected how much improvement (way beyond pre-meds levels) that I got from Provigil for these problems, and I feared it would help my social anxiety little -- or even make it worse. And I certainly never expected so much mood-lifting (natural feeling -- not manic, overly euphoric, or high) -- especially since I was not depressed. Boy, were my fears and expectations (thankfully) wrong! Provigil actually *helped* ALL of the above without insomnia or any other significant side effects. And my sexual interest, sensation, and performnce are now conistently at all-time highs, another unexpected bonus. Again, I must point out that my responses to Provigil MAY have been different in the absence of one or both of the other meds I had been taking.
Anyways, I don't even care whether it's a *placebo* effect (I think I heard my wallet squeal when I typed that sentence)! For me, for whatever reason, Provigil really helps. As long as it continues to help and appears safe, let me at it!
Good luck to you,
Rick
