Went to see my doctor this morning about switching meds. The magical drug Provigil was not as effective as I had expected.

Adderall gave me the jitters for about a week after I started it and made me lose about 15 pounds, but it kept me awake all day long, which left me tired at night like a normal hu-man.

Provigil makes me nauseated and anxious and I fall asleep halfway through the afternoon. Taking half a pill twice a day makes me nauseated twice, less anxious, but also drowsy at 10am.

So… I went to see my doctor about what to do. Now, I get to take the regular pill in the morning and Ritalin in the afternoon. We’ll see how it goes. I think it could be good for me… I could use the help focusing and it should be a low enough dose that it won’t keep me up at night. The Dr told me it had a pretty quick half-life, so if I take it with lunch, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Of course, I got home and looked up side effects and whatnot on WebMD.
