"this is a wonder drug in the use of depression. i have suffered for years with depression and never with any relief from the mainstream anti-depressants. either the side effects were intolerable, or the medicine just didn&#039;t work. within 3 days of taking provigil, i was the happiest, most productive i had been in a year. the first 2 days i was still really sleepy, and the 3rd day, a little hyper, but after that day i have felt excellent. i don&#039;t have anxiety attacks anymore and i get a full night of &quot;good&quot; sleep and wake up feeling extremely refreshed and i am happy again. i was on my couch for a straight 6 months sleeping and crying until i started this medicine. it literally saved my life."
