Meezers Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) It's apparent I am having inconsistent responses to the Provigil. One day it helps me signifigantly..the next day it makes me sleep..even increasing it when this happens doesn't help. Or it will make me foggy/spacey and out of it. It's like a different med each time. I am having a hard time understanding as to exactly why this is happening. Yes it is odd. Why is this happening ??And how in the world am I to explain this to my Dr. without him oficially classifying me as nuts..?

jt07 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Even on meds you have good days and bad days. For example, today is a bad day for me. I have taken my full dose of Ritalin and drank a pot of coffee, but still I am tired and feel like I could sleep all day. Yesterday was a good day for me. So it happens. Today is a day where an extra shot of dopamine is not affecting my brain. The brain is a complicated organ and doesn't always respond to meds as we would hope.

melissaw72 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Did you just start it? Sometimes it takes awhile for your body to get used to a new medication, so there might be up and down days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savannah Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't always get the same response either. It really helps if I drink a lot of soda first thing in the am. Also, I usually skip the weekends which seems to make Mon & Tue more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
