Yes- I take provigil. I've tried nuvigil 2 times but had bad reactions- could have been a coincidence but I'm not willing to take it again.

100mgs of Provigil.

Thanks for sharing! I have B12 Deficiency even though I eat meat regularly. I've always felt that malabsorption is a part of my problem. I eat a strict diet with very low sugar and no processed foods. It helps but isn't a cure. :-)
