Thank you for your post. I am glad that you have found a medication that works well and helps you to focus. It is important to remember, however, people react differently to different medications, therefore what works for one person may not work for another. Provigil, in tests, has been found to be helpful in 50% of people with ADHD. The pharmaceutical company, however, has chosen not to continue requesting approval for this medication to treat ADHD. This is not because of the effectiveness, but because of the FDA's request for a large study based on a rash that may develop from using the medication.
