Help
Filled a script for Provigil today and took one. But I had this nagging feeling that sometime back in the past I had found out it contained gluten. I called the company and yes- I had called in 2006 and 2 years later it STILL contains gluten in the NON-ACTIVE ingredients. It's a starch and the company does not even know which gluten it is.
How a company can get away with this when SO many people have actually allergies and it's not a necessary ingredient is beyond me. I am hopping mad right now!!!!

Yeah, my daughter is finally getting serious about removing all the gluten from her life, and that is one thing she still needs to deal with. What have you used instead?

I don't know- I just picked it up today. I've heard Adderall or some of the other ADD meds (Ritalin) might work. Will talk to my doc tomorrow.

Yikes! Those are some serious drugs. My daughter takes Provigil for narcolepsy.

I reacted to Provigil too, didn't notice until I went gluten-free, I take it PRN, every time I took it Chronic D 
...days I didn't take Provigil NO D !!
Trust the body ...the body knows.
I just this week had my doc switch me to Adderal. Much Better.
