Depression
"Provigil has been a HUGE help for me. I take nortriptyline for my depression. It works better than anything else I&#039;ve tried but it makes it impossible for me to get up in the morning. When my alarm goes off at 7am I feel like I&#039;m being tortured. I take half a tablet of Provigil at bedtime (11pm). It doesn&#039;t keep me from falling asleep but it does help me wake up alert at 7am. Without it, I&#039;ll sleep until at least 11:30am. This may be an off-label use but it makes it possible for me to take my antidepressant AND get to school/work on time."
