> Emme, my dear, how low a dose has worked for you without overstimulating you? When you say a "crumb" is that an eighth of a 100mg tablet, or just a literal crumb? And have you had any experience on any other stimulant, like ritalin, adderall, etc? Did those overstimulate you, too?I didn't like ritalin very much. It made me way too jittery.
I typically chopped 100 mg Provigil tabs into eighths, so that would be 12.5 mg. There have been some days when I could take 25 mg and then other days when I nibbled 12.5 mg in half. Because the tabs are hard, you can really do microsurgery on them!
In general, I find it makes me speedy - and really chatty. Actually, I wish I could keep some of that without feeling wired. It definitely brightens mood and has been a lifesaver on occasion. I never took it for more than a few days in a row because it wore me out. I never stuck with it long enough to see if that went away, as Psychosage suggested. So maybe the speediness would settle down. I haven't used it in a while. In the past year, when I've needed energizing quickly, I've used Selegiline.
Good luck!
