The recommended dosage for this medication is a 200mg dose once daily. When using this medication for the first time, some people choose to split the tablet to achieve a 100mg dose for a few days before using a 200mg dose. This medication should be taken with water, with or without food, and only once each day.
The time of the day the medication is consumed completely depends on individual circumstances. If Provigil is being used to deal with the negative effects associated with shift work, then it should be taken around 1 hour before work starts. If it is being taken to promote wakefulness when suffering from insomnia or sleep apnea, then it should be taken when waking in the morning. This medication should not be taken more than once per day and never late in the day otherwise undesirable side effects such as insomnia will be experienced.
