Provigil

Is anyone familiar with the drug provigil or monafinil for enery and depression...?  It is a drug for narcolepsy....wakes me up but not sure about use during tapering tabs...I have taken small doses for several months and do not seem to abuse it or become tolerant to it

agree...did not know it was habit forming...I take ambien to sleep and have never abused that in the past either....scared to take anything now...I also have polytussin cough syrup and we all know that has hydrocodone in it ....Last time I was out of pills(mind you "out of pills, not quit") for 2 months I took that 3 times a day and made it...but I know it is a substitute and the lortab will not leave my system if i take it to curb the WDs...should I trash it?   ouch

okay...it is non-prescription on the net and I have been taking little dosages for a while for energy and depression....will rethink it...I am probably not to the jumpy stage yet as I am just on day 2.....

I think you  becarfull of what you are putting into your body while detoxing .I would not want to take anything that is going to keep me up anymore then i would be with detox .
as pill addicts we have a habit of putting just about anything in our mouth that we think we make things better . sometimes it makes it worse...
