Re: Re: Chronic Fatigue/Provigil

[Guest guest]

I so hope that they prescribe it for you too! I've read a few posts from those

that have CFS and it seems to be helping them! I know fatigue is so

frustrating. There are days I lay around all day literally, and other days, I

can get small surges of energy. Keep me updated! And good luck!!

I have tried everything that I can think of to help offset the

fatigue. I tried drinking soda, coffee, energy drinks, vitamins,

excerise etc. with no effect. The only thing that worked for me was

ephedra...of course they banned it. When I heard about provigil I

got excited because I thought it could really help me. I am thinking

about trying another diet medication (I need to loose weight

anyways)...but I wanted to try provigil first.

My husband let me try one of his adderral and it helped...but he

needs them more then I do. I will keep you updated.
