I was first introduced to this medication in 2005 and it changed my life. wont go through all my probs, but like most of you I couldnt live a normal life. Thus no insurance. anyway there are if cephalon cares does not cover several parmaceutical advocates that will get medicine for low monthly fee. Main reason I got on this sight is , I could not wait for generic to come out. but now that it has and i started taking it, it seemed to not do as well. of course that took awhile to notice, as most of you know it takes a few days - week and boom you crash. I get my meds through advocacy so i get 90 days at a time. It might be this generic has short shelf life or maybe severe temperature and light sensitivity, either way it just doesnt seem the same. wonderin if I am nuts or there is something different about the generic.Good luck everyone and thank you Cephalon.

I started taking this med about a year a ago and I am now taking 2 pills of 200mg each day. I have been told that I have narcolepsy and this is the only med that has worked for me.

I have been on Provigil for probably a year and this week I switched to this generic. I haven't seen any other comments regarding this but I have noticed an increase in libido. I have not had a drug that had this effect on me before. I take 1/2 a 200 mg pill 1st thing in the morning which is about 5:30 am and 1/2 around noon. By 10:00 it is all I can think about.

It is not too bad when I am working but if I am not distracted, it is almost like a yearning or need. I guess if a drug is going to have a side effec, this one is not too bad.
