I know things have been really rough for you. I was so happy for you when you were able to tolerate the Provigil. It always seems like it's one step forward and two steps back though, doesn't it?
> I have my med-related health issues. I need to see a GP for starters, to check out chest pain that I got from Ritalin and that has not wholly subsided. I'm taking Provigil which is better than Ritalin from a cardio POV but not wholly benign. the irony is that I have to be awake enough to call the health service I have so I need the stim to do it, and yet it's causing the problem itself! Kara, maybe if you get a cardio workup it will reassure you. I have to get one ASAP.

Since it's been working miracles and my options are limited, I'd hate to do that. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with you that all turns out ok and that you can continue to take the Provigil. Keep us posted (and try not to worry - if that's possible).
