Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Dear Thelma and others; Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. I do have three children and it is difficult to function when in such need of sleep. I talked to my local neuro and she suggested taking the Provigil everyday. It works for me the first three our four days and then it tapers off; I can sleep right through it and I go on crying jags. But I guess it could get me back in the swing of things. (Especially since Jack has something, seemingly as simple as canker sores on the side of his tongue and it seems to be doing a number on his energy and overall health.) I always wonder if I'm using tomorrow, and tomorrows energy when I use the Provigil. I must say it makes everything work better for the first few days. It was also suggested that I might start Wellbutrin in the morning...but to tell the truth, I don't know if I want to start a new drug right now. It is so hard to make these decisions. Do you guys use caffine to keep awake? Thanks for the input.
