I tried Provigil to counteract the sedating effects of my meds, but the benefit was small to nil, with no side effects. I have also taken Dexedrine for yrs to help with Depression; it is a milder amphetamine than Ritalin and has helped me(with the D., tho the sedation remains a big problem). Provigil is worth trying, in my opinion. For you, it might be just the ticket. Al
