NO, I do not. I would rather go for natural remedies... things like washing face with cold water at regular intervals, tea/coffee, eat light, etc.\n\nModafinil available in commercial trade names like Provigil, Sparlon is a wakefulness promoting agent.\n\nIt is used to improve wakefulness in people who have excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, or stopped breathing while sleeping or have difficulty breathing while sleeping (obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome), or shift work sleep disorder .\n\nCaution: It can decrease the effectiveness of certain contraceptives including birth control pills and implantable contraceptives.\n\nIts side affects include headache infection, nausea, nervousness, feeling anxious, trouble sleeping, etc.

Just be sure you gonna get some after you take it. \nOtherwise, it's a waste of money and not a pretty sight.

A locum prescribed me reductil while my GP was on holiday.  When I next saw him, he said that he didn't think they worked and wouldn't have prescribed them.  I had to lose 10% of my bodyweight in 3 months - that's part of the licensing process, apparently.  I didn't manage to lose that much, so don't take them any more.  So well done for losing a stone!  That's better than nothing!!\n\nI found that my sleep was really distubred while I was taking them - I had lots of restless nights and felt awful because I was so tired all the time.

I assume you mean you're taking it to control PMS? \n\nI can only speak from my experience.  I've been taking .5mg / night for insomnia / restless legs and the effect is immediate.  I also cycle it (dropping the dossage for a few days) to avoid dependency.\n\nJust be careful of dependency.\n\nAlso, look into cutting your sugar intake and eating low-carb for a few months and see if that helps.  Some folks now think that PMS is mainly due to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) due to hormone changes - I have that too and it is the main cause of my insomnia.

I don't know if it is available in the middle east, but it is currently available in Europe and Canada.  \n\nI learned about this drug at a conference, the information was buried in a two hour talk by the NIH representative.  (I am surprised I was actually paying attention rather than snoozing).  This appears to be one of the safest drugs to come along in quite a while.  She wasn't trying to sell it or advertise it, but was showing boring graphs and charts, and scientifically discussing the clinical trial results.   Interesting side effects profile, most of the "side effects" are quite beneficial, such as lowering the bad cholesterol levels, reversing some of the symptoms of insulin resistance.  \n\nI have no need for the drug, but was so impressed, I am planning on investing a substantial amount into the company by the end of this year.  It is due to be released for use in the USA in 2007.\n\nBy the way, what would you be using it for?  It has several recommended uses.

I checked on drugs.com and found no listing.  Take it to the pharmacy, or call your doctor.

That's strange.  Did you ask about it at the pharmacy counter?  Maybe there is a reason they don't carry it anymore?\n\nWalgreens DOES carry it.  Try there.  http://www.walgreens.com

Finally found it:\n\nIt's a diet pill.  Pretty dangerous.  Causes heart problems.\n\nPhentermine.

I've had insomnia for a very, very long time. I can stay up for days on end and not feel it. I don't like to and I hate taking medications. I try to stay far from medication. I talked to my doctor about it and he suggested for me to try "melatonin". Its a natural sleeping aid that you can get at any veg store, walgreens, or wallmart. It works very well. Doesn't knock you out it just lets you slowly drift off to sleep. It's usually between 3-5 dollars. \n\nWhen I say natural sleeping AID your probably thinking "this wont work". Well, I thought so to but melatonin is natural because its already in your body. It helps level out your sleep patterns and i think its one of the best things out there.

Midol 12 hour! I swear by this stuff! It makes you feel normal, plus, you dont have to take it often! :-)

This is a good question.  I can only tell you from my experience of taking this type drug for so long that for me it is worth it.  \n\nIt works great for me.  There are side effects but for me it's better then going with out it.

See my previous answer. If you've been taking it for two years, why can't you get it the legal way? I think you need to get help hon. Sorry.

if that is all that keeps you sane then you can go to the doctor and get them to prescribe you something like merrinol? not sure how to spell but its a synthetic marijuanna in pill form

Oh, I know! I'm almost 27 frigging years old and STILL have to chew up my pills. I recently had to start taking Prevacid for acid reflux disease and I have to open it up, put the medicine in a cup (which look like teeny tiny white marbles BTW), put it in my mouth, and drink water with it. Although I remember to give my daughter her meds every day... me on the other hand.... take three meds in the a.m. and two meds in the p.m., I cannot remember to take them for the life of me!

How long did you take this drug?\n\nAnyway you have to taper off very slowly. Stay on 5mg for 3 months. You may feel dizziness, shock like sensations and a lot of other problems after you stop the drug, but the problems disappears in 3 to 12 weeks.\n\nI have taken this drug (20mg) for more than 6 years and could stop it successfully.\n\nDid your doctor tell you to stop it?\n\n10mg is a very low dose. People usually take from 40mg to 60mg a day for a long term.

I myself have not taken it, but a few others that I know that are close to me are taking it currently.  In their opinion, it is working, although it takes a while to kick in for full effectiveness.  Just keep taking it if you've been prescribed it.
