Provigil- when does the weight loss stop?

[HyperMel]

I've been on Provigil for IH since mid August, and it's definitely helping with my job, my safety and overall quality of life!
Downside- I can't stop loosing weight. I make myself eat more than I used to, but usually at night after my pills have worn off since I've really no appetite in the day. I've always been an active runner, and my activity level hasn't changed- I think the weight loss is due 80% to a metabolism change. I already take birth control for low estrogen levels, and Provigil decreases absorption so now I don't just feel emaciated, I'm afraid of an increased risk for osteopenia.
Anyways- it's been over two months, when does the weight loss and stuff level off? Will it stay where it's at or will it slowly recover and I'll end up where I was before (should I just buy new clothes)? I've been at 400mg/day for 5-6 weeks and don't plan on increasing it any more.
I'd appreciate any info from anyone who might have an idea of the long term result!
Thank you!!

weight loss has been a struggle of mine for years. Im only five feet tall, 105lbs and have always been very athletic. When I first started taking medication I lost fifteen pounds! I looked like I was dying in my mind. I lost most of my weight from adderall and ritalin. I now take dexedrine and 400mg of provigil. I think for some people all stimulants cause you to loose your "love" of foods. Im never really hungry and if I am I'm not really craving anything so I either have to force myself to eat something or just go with out.(prob not the best choice). The only way I have been able to over come the weight lose was by drinking weight gain shakes and eating foods that were very high in fat like Mcdonalds three times a day. I have gotten my weight back up to 100lbs and nolonger have to drink shakes. I personally think that as long as you make the effort to eat several times a day even when you are not hungry that the weight loss will slow down. The only other option is to stop medications but for me I didnt want to be sleeping for 16 plus hours again. I hope this helps a little

I can agree with the weight loss, I started taking Provigil 200mg/day (now up to 600) in early July, 2006. I actually just saw my doc last week and have seem him on numerous occasions since, my weight has dropped signifiantly. I have lost a total of 39lb since our first visit 4 months ago. I agree with its not appetite loss but the love of certain foods are lost. So you just dont eat cause nothing is "appealing" anymore. Good luck and I hope everything works out

I know this is an old topic, but I actually have been experiencing the opposite. I've been packing on the pounds since I've started the provigil 3 years ago. I WISH I could lose the weight.
