Multiple Sclerosis and Provigil

I went to a self help group for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society where we all discussed the various medications and supplements we were taking to manage multiple sclerosis.

One of the attendees indicated (after a recent visit to well-known Dr. Elliott Frohman) that was going to:

- quit taking Provigil
- start doubling up on her Acetyl L-Carnitine/Alpha-Lipoic Acid combo from Bronson Laboratories

I found this be a very interesting way to deal with multiple sclerosis. Provigil is one of my must-have medications because it helps my think clearer and have more energy. However, Provigil is a drug -- most all drugs have side effects. Plus, Provigil is costly. Everything surrounding multiple sclerosis medications seems to be expensive and I don't need another negative side effect.

The best news is that since I have heard this suggestion, I have stopped taking Provigil and ramped up on ALC/ALA. It seems to be working - I am functioning fine. I may even be doing better in terms of mobility and mental clarity!
