I am trying to give you a link, don't know if it will work. I am not very good on the computer. If you enter provigil in the archive search, you will find a bunch of info and other links too.
The short version, it is a psycho-stimulant that has been FDA approved for narcolepsy. It is the active metabolite in Adrafanil, a drug used in France as an antidepressant. It is not an amphetamine and doesn't have the side effects of an amphetamine, they aren't really sure how it works.The cost is prohibitive without insurance for most of us. Anyway, there is alot of detailed info in the archives.
Good luck to you John,Donna
