Sorry, I meant I use a bipap machine to treat the sleep apnea. Even after the apneas were gone, I was still too sleepy, so I got provigil. You're right though, it's hard to tell if the improvement's from being awake or from the provigil.

If the sleep apnea meds help with the adhd - sounds like you are ahead of the game.

i am sleepy all day and usually take long naps in the afternoon despite getting rest at night. does provigil work good for you to help keep you awake? seems like all i wanna do is sleep!!

Yeah Provigil is starting to be used more in people with AD/HD. It seems to work with about the same success rate as say Wellbutrin, some say it works while others claim it does nothing. It's usually/almost always used in adults, and usually inattentive AD/HD, much moreso than the other AD/HD subtypes.

i am currently taking 450mgs. wellbutrin and have never experienced any stimulation what-so-ever from it....my body has a very high tolerance for drugs. i am going to see a new doctor next month and he wants to put me on dexedrine so i am excited about that. my current doc. keeps on giving me antidepressants and none of them worked but he just doesn't get it LOL
