Modafinil/Provigil Dosage

I just purchased some provigil from http://www.buypainmedicines.com/ a well trusted source and I'm trying to find out the optimal dosage for use. So far I'm taking 200mg/ed during the morning. I know through research it lasts about 12-15 hours, but I really didn't get an idea of exactly how much a person should take in the course of a day.

Do any of you guys take it? And what kind of dosage are you at? Split through the day?

I personally like 200 in the morning, and sometimes will take 100 more in the early afternoon if I have late night plans (10 pm is late night for my married ass with kids)....I took 200 am and 200 pm on sunday to make sure I was loud in my seats at the Dome to watch the Colts advance to the Super Bowl (sorry....bragging). I usually only take it about once a week though.

I should also say that I only use it for a sports pick-me-up, and for that I only like 200.....300 at the most. 400 and I feel a little "disconnected"...but that may just be me.
 
Don't space it out unless you plan on not sleeping at night, it has a 16 hour half life. For me 300-400mg in the morning worked quite well.
 
Ya I take it early in the morning as soon as I wake up. So far so good, but I was hoping it would somewhat be like adderall.
 
200mg 1st thing works well for me, I dont take it ED.

It is not like adderal from what I have read, (not tried that though).

The effect is moderate, but quite long lasting.
 
i heard monkees love this as much as cocaine. No b.s. Do you guys think it is something you can use repeatedly and not "NEED" everyday? How hard is it to fall asleep that night, if you take first thing in morning? Do you feel like shit when it wears off?

Nahh, its not addictive unless you are a workaholic ... then you love the stuff. I leave 200 mgs by the bed with a sugar free red bull. I wake up at 5:30 to take a piss, take the mondafinil and chug half the red bull, and then go back to bed. 6:30 I wake back up to angel trumpets and birds chirping ... its like my own little fabric softener commercial. People at work hate me because I am "Mr. Good Morning". Got the nickname FILO at the office (first in, last out). On the fast track to uppper management.

Only need about 5-6 solid hours with maybe a nap for 20 minutes in late afternoon.

Getting to bed can be an issue if you take any caffeine or other stuff after 3-4 in the afternoon. The crazy thing is that you actually "need" less sleep to feel rested.

All in all - not euphoric or speedy. Much better than coffee!

Take the weekends off and try to use it only when you have to. Been taking it for a year via ... sleep apnea ... through insurance. No problems what so ever.

Good stuff! Im really considering this. But do you "crash" when it wears off? I hate how i used to feel when ephedrine would wear off. I only dink coffe or rockstar in morning. I do worry about falling asleep. How did you get it prescibed? I sleep like shit and am going for apnea tests. But i did read that in studies monkees loved the provigil like coke!! Thanks for info!!

I can fall asleep fine if I take it first thing in the morning and I do not feel like shit when it wears off.
 
I used to take at 5am then go back to bed for an hour or two.

it is nothing like adderall, so If thats what you are looking for you will be disappointed.

to get it prescribed, say that you have ADD or trouble staying awake most days.

I have that and adderall prescribed, but only take one at a time.

200mg ed is what I used to take
 
Thanks for info! no i dont know about adderall. i do not want it for a buzz or to get loaded. I hate coke, ephedrine etc... really can only handle a couple cups of coffee and rockstar.
I work A LOT. so i am a workaholic because i have to be, not because i like work. work sucks.
I like the idea of feeling not tired and alert but not high. I have heard this stuff is addictive. I mean, how could it not be?? It seems to me that if you get used to taking it, it would be damn hard to go to work without it.?
 
you think if you took it all the time then had to stop, you could function?
 
yes i dont see why not, i dont know about the people who wolf down 10-15 a day tho..maybe them guys have a hard time coming off
 
i would only take 630am dose...would i be able to fall asleep by 10 pm??? in your opinion. also when it wears off late in the day are you useless?
 
it is non addictive, you do not have any "crash" when it wears off. Personally I have never had an issue sleeping at night, I was up with sick friend last night all night and took 300 mg today, to get through the work day, was alert, awake and no jitters or discomfort of any type.

This is not the same or similar to adderol, it is very good if you have a great deal of paperwork, reading or really must concentrate on something of importance.

I have also found it is very helpful on those days I must take allergy medications, which no matter how much I complain to my physician that it makes me sleepy, he says it should not, but it does, so this product is very helpful to counteract the sleepyness my allergy medication cause me.
 
I just got 200mgs prescribed to me and my doc said to take it ed? I was thinking I would just use it a 5 times a week. Dont really see a need for it on my off days? Would this be a problem?

Nope. Just use it during the week. There is no rebound tiredness. Good stuff.

I noticed no crash or unpleasant after-effects from Provigil. Given it's long half life compared to ephedrine and lack of effect on the central nervous system you probably won't experience anything of the sort.

I bought an 8-ball of Provigil on a street corner from a jittery monkey that kept scratching his face and complaining about spiders crawling under his skin. All kidding aside, Provigil was prescribed to me by a psychiatrist to combat the effects of temporary work induced sleep deprivation. Ideally you should get your sleep issue resolved if that is what causes your sleepiness. Provigil is only a temporary measure.
 
It works, but if you're looking for a "WOW" factor there is none. The difference is noticeable, but not like ritalin or anything.
 
I know it shouldnt be taking it with beta blockers but say you were to take it with 80mgs of Inderal, what would happen?
 
100mg works for me. This is where I it without a prescription

There's no need to bump a six year old thread. It's your first post so don't worry about it. Just check the date of the last post before posting otherwise you're going to annoy some people!

Oh and we don't discuss sources on here for future reference, you can use the source section of www.evolutionary.org for that.
