"As with any drug, Provigil has side effects. According to the [UK govt], the list is substantial, including nervousness, insomnia, excitation, irritability, tremors, dizziness and headaches. It may also cause "gastrointestinal disturbances", including nausea and abdominal pain, dry mouth, loss of appetite and cardiovascular effects such as high blood pressure, palpitations and tachycardia - a fast heart beat." http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/research/story/0,,1271038,00.html http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/research/story/0,,127... Still tempting for hitting immediate deadlines, but I'd be very reluctant to use it long-term.

Aren't insomnia and excitation the point? Funny to see insomnia listed as a side effect of Provigil.

  If you look at the research, though, there are a few reports of patients having severe insomnia for weeks or months after moderate doses of provigil.

  "Funny to see insomnia listed as a side effect of Provigil." I take your point, but (having experienced severe nervous insomnia for a while) I wouldn't wish it on anyone, except perhaps a narcoleptic :)
