If you or your child take Provigil for narcolepsy, what have your results been?

My 14 year old was diagnosed with narcolepsy and she was prescribed Provigil which I have severe concerns about in terms of side effects. I want to talk to someone her age who actually takes it to find out what the effects have been.

I am an adult, but a 14 yr old is close enough to a grown person that side effects should not hinder your decision to have your child take a medicine, especially a perscribed one. It would be different if the child was under 10.

Anyway, it works about 75% on me. It will not cure her, but it will darn sure give her a better quality of life. She will no longer be a zombie and will remember things more. She will still get sleepy at times, but way less. That is assuming it works for her.

Also, give it two weeks. It causes headaches in some people at first but it goes away once your body gets used to it. It is worth it in the end to be at least somewhat normal.
