shift work sleep disorde
"My Neuro prescribed these for the Holy Trinity:  MS Fatigue + Uhtoff's Penomenon + Ten Hour Grave Shifts. She suggested Provigil or Nuvigil.  And after learning I work 10-hour shifts; went for Nuvigil because it lasts longer.



I totally had the "Beginner's High."  I was a little manic; but staying up through my shift with only a bit of body tiredness.  I have an easier time doing my complex, brain-consuming job (Network Engineer). I can fall asleep on schedule, and stay down for the most part.



As the drug has settled in; I'm not manic; but I am more upbeat and responsive. Overall, It's working. I sometimes have yawning fits, but I don't feel sleepy. Costs were reduced to $10/mo through Insurance (UHC)  + Teva's Savings Program."
