Yet another thing to remember about Provigil-- It increases my alertness. It increases my psychological spoons. It does *not* increase my physical spoons. I'll feel more ready to tackle physical tasks, but my body will not feel less in pain, less shaky or less tired after I'm done.
This is important.
Mind, do not be writing physical checks that the body cannot pay.

ETA: Mind, also please to be remembering that, although the Provigil suppresses appetite, the body still needs to eat. Three slices of cheese, a Halloween packet of malted milk balls and seven grapes are not sufficient food for one day.
