Has anyone gone off Provigil after being on it for more than 5 years? I am beginning to wonder if I am so used to it that I really don't feel the benefits like I used to. It is time to renew my prescription and I wonder if I should just try going without. Making decisions seems to be harder than it used to be.

I have been on Provigil for several years. Occasionally I will be out for a day or two until my mail order arrives. I notice a difference during those days.
Try not taking it for a few days and see how you feel. That should tell you whether it is still providing you some benefit. -
Ellanor I was feeling like the Provigil had stopped working for me. I have been on it for about 6 years.
I skipped my dose thinking I didn't need it and I tell ya it was miserable, and humbling. I couldn't stay awake for more than a couple of hours.
Needless to say, I started back on it and I was able to stay awake, at least for half the day.

I took Provigil for a year or two.....I forget how long! I always took a day vacation per week from it, seemed to help keep up it's effectiveness for me.
I recently went off and back to Amantadine. I thought the Provigil was giving me headaches. I'm sleeping better so fatigue is not too terrible right now.Comment
