Default Anyone take provigal to stay awake feeling?

My Dr. just prescribed this but I haven't taken one yet. I was wondering if anyone here has tried it and if it had bad side effects or if it worked.
I have mild sleep apnea and use CPAP machine and take ambien cr at night but still am extremely sleepy all day.

any suggestions?

I've never taken it myself (I don't even know if it's available over here), but one of my friends in the USA uses it - not for sleep apnea related stuff, but they travel tons (US to Europe to Tokyo and back pretty much every other week - really messes up their body) and suffer the worst jet lag, so their doctor recommended it for that.

Apparently it's way better than most stimulants - they don't take it often, only when they've slept, but are still tired and can't get back to a normal body clock routine. They don't get jitters, headaches, or anything.

I'd love to hear how it works for you.
