I've not read the thread, but wanted to
report that Provigil worked well for
me on my last set of graveyards.
I drink much less coffee, and sleep a
bit better the next day. Also, without
keeping a drug diary or anything, I think
I am using less albuterol, for my asthma.
Anyway, I have a little tendency for, er,
a touch of IBD, so less caffeine is good.
And my blood pressure has notched back down.
So far so good.
I was kinda nervous as I took the first
tablet, like I thought I'd get some sort of
rush. I think my body temp went up a tad
after a half an hour, but that's it.
Otherwise, didn't feel like I had to lie
down for the second half of my shift, which
is what usually happens.
Anyway, seems to be a good alertness drug, but
does not wind you up. Plus, I can sleep okay the
next morning...with a few melatonin tablets.
Finally, I am using no Ambien, tylenol PM and
beer to sleep (cringe--don't try that at home).
That is, Provigil doesn't seem to stay in your
system and cause insomnia or anything.
Well done, Ceph, or whoever originally discovered
the stuff. |
