KellyErnst Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Does anyone take Provigil 100 mg QD? I have made contact with a 26 year old female in NC who takes this along with Celexa for her POTS and is doing very well with these meds. She indicated that this is a new combination of drugs for treatment of POTS. Provigil is used to treat narcolepsy. Just wondering if anyone has tried this and what their results were?Kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellepee Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I tried Provigil awhile back and did not like it at all- another doc ended up taking me off of it because she said they don't even fully understand how it works.Then again, fatigue isn't one of my major symptoms- my problem is that I'm usually too dizzy or nauseaus to do anything. I did sleep a lot less while on Provigil, but unfortunately it didn't help any of my other symptoms so I didn't find myself able to function any more that I could without the drug.If you suffer from fatigue, it may work better for you.Good luck!

lalalisa Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hello!I tried Provigil for a while because fatigue is my worst symptom. I didn't like the way it made me feel -- kinda jittery like I had too much coffee or something. My brother who has CFS takes it and it seems to help him. If he knows he has something he needs to accomplish on a specific day he is sure to take it. (On days when he's home all day he doesn't) I think it's worth a try. (I've never tried Celexa)Hope it works well for you,Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
