Actually, Provigil IS scheduled - Schedule IV.
Anyway... I've had some experience with Provigil.
I've found that it increases wakefulness, if you want it to. It does not force it upon you, as it isn't terribly stimulating. I had no problem sleeping on it, even a few hours after I had taken it. It DOES reduce the tendency to get fatigued as easily... that is the main thing I noticed. However.. it really didn't help me with motivation or anything like that. Some cognition improvement, perhaps... but for the most part I still felt scatter-brained. No signifigant mood-lifting effects either.
So basically, it won't force you out of bed, but it will give you the stamina you'll need if you decide to get out of bed... see what I mean?
Oh yeah, and I find it induced dysphoria if I took extra trying to stay up all night.
