Dad is really sleepy during the day--that was one reason that we wanted to try

Provigil. I'd like him to have the best quality of life for as long as

possible. He does have hallucinations all the time now, so I don't think we'd

want to give him anything to make those worse. And then there's the expense--my

dad's meds run about $1000/month already when they have to pay the 100% in the

donut hole. Thanks so much for the input.

Our experience was that Provigil made mom very anxious. She really

wasn't sleepy in the day anymore when it was started, but we had some hope it

would ease the hallucinations (which it did not). It seems to be most

appropriate if your LO is excessively sleepy in the daytime, and is another one

of the trial and error type options.

PS It is really expensive, too.
