Neither Modafanil nor Provigil work that well - maybe 10% improvement. I spoke with my doctor yesterday - the visit was 5-10 minutes long. He got uncomfortable when I asked about prescribing medication that the insurance company recommended to try. He is not comfortable yet so keep taking Provigil. I am ready for a new doctor!!

Neither of those meds work for me either. They cause my headaches to increase 10 fold. Which are chronic anyway. I know what will work for me. Can't get into my Sleep Specialist till May. To get prescribed.. Long wait. Sounds like you do need a new Dr. Hugs.

These kids came up and honked until I woke up - bless them. The Sheriff was called who had me call my son to pick me up. That is when I took this stuff seriously!! It scared me that I kept driving in spite of my sleepiness!
