concerta vs. provigil

Recommended Posts

I take 54mg of Concerta to help me stay awake and focus. I do not have ADD/ADHD. I have been taking this for almost a year. Problem is I don't find it effective anymore. I'm still tired, and can still sleep the day away after having taken it. I'm going to discuss this with my pdoc, but wanted to know if anyone out there has switched to provigil with better results?

I do have ADHD so stims dont really rev me up like they do most people. However I can say...

I used to be on Concerta and it helped. It didnt keep me awake or anything but it kept me alert while keeping me concentrated on tasks.

Provigil however did nothing. Did nothing for attention or concentration and did nothing for energy. I have Narcolepsy (or what looks like it) so I might be going back on it for the theraputic dose for the sleeping disorder (which would be a higher dose than for treating my ADHD). But I'm very skeptical to say the least. It really did absolutely nothing on the dose I was on (300-600mg??).
