While pulling in to the hotel, X17 photogs snapped a pic of Brit's open purse, containing a package of the prescription medication Provigil, which is sometimes used to treat sleep disorders and ADHD.

X17 is still on the scene with the former couple, so stay tuned for more news (and hopefully more pix) of the meeting!

Love you nut job!

Someone explain to me why Kevin was not concerned about the safety of his
children until AFTER the divorce and 50/50 custody was final. All that
time since November untill July of this year he had NO problem with
Britney's care of them. The panty stuff, the head shaving, the partying..
he had no problem, never raised a single concern during the divorce
and 50/50 custody all during that?

I'll tell you why... MONEY... he had to make sure
he got the cheques for the spousal support cashed and he did not get
that money untill he signed on the dotted line of the divorce. His only
concern at the time was getting that money. Only after the marital
house was sold and he cashed the cheque for that did he have any
problem with Britney.

He never had any concerns the whole time they were married when she
was pregnant home and alone while he was spending her money. Why did
he not file for divorce if she was such a terrible mother. Why did
he not demand full custody himself?... It was Britney that filed
for divorce because she was tired of the lies and being home alone
with no emotional support from Kevin. Kevin was so clueless about how
to care for those boys Shar had to come help him.

that explains it. also people with adhd are very creative and never sit still and tend to self medicate if not properly diagnosed. that would explain the changing of clothes (if true, but so what), but ADHD people are really focused on music, games and other things. hope this is it.

So that means she can't sleep? Well maybe that's why she can't deal with the kids. They have to be on a shcedule. They sleep a lot when they're little. She better just leave them with Kevin and focus on herself and her career. They'll be ok with Kev and she can focus on her career.

It's totally used to treat adhd:

From Wikipedia: Modafinil (Provigil) is a eugeroic drug generally prescribed to treat narcolepsy, made by the pharmaceutical company Cephalon Inc. It is not a typical stimulant and is often described as a "wakefulness promoting agent." The drug is sometimes prescribed off-label for ADD/ADHD. In mass-media advertisements and websites, Cephalon markets the drug for improving "alertness" and reducing "excessive daytime sleepiness."

BRITNEY WANTS.. YOUR THE DUMBASS.. CHECK THE INTERNET

Posted by: Anonymous


OK, Provigil's main use at that dosage is as correctly stated for sleep disorders and taken upon waking to stimulate alertness. Currently it is not prescribed for ADHD, but as of this year there are clinical trials investigating that, but no one would prescribe it for that now.

It does, however have some experimental uses currently including weight loss,with a couple of studies done suggesting its effectiveness, though under a different brand name a patent was filed as an appetite stimulant. Researchers have also been running trials on its effectiveness for cocaine and amphetamine addiction (Uni of PA).

But the most likely RX here is to wake her up, perhaps if she wasn't driving around at 2am and sleeping through meetings she might not need it..?

Provigil SHOULD NOT be used by anybody who is drug-dependent. It is a controlled substance and is highly addictive.

Posted by: Anonymous


Kevin was being a bachelor and seeing other women, partying doing things single guys do. It seemed like Brit was ok being a single parent, but she started falling apart at the seams little by little and he had to step in and take them. Anyways they are his kids. She looks like that girl in yesterdays pictures...the one that came by Kevin house. I think Brit is trying to look like her because before Brit had blond extensions, and black ones and all of a sudden she switched to this brownish color and is sticking to it when she is constantly changing her hair color. She loves that man no matter what anyone says...and it's true since they have two boys together it makes her love for him stronger.

ADHD medication is commonly used as an appetite suppressant. If Britney were using this medication properly, she would not need to carry it around in her purse. Since she has it in her purse, she wants it there for immediate consumption. No photos of Britney at Taco Bell this week? Must be that Provigil.............

Provigil may aid cocaine addicts

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD
Associated Press, April 26, 2006

WASHINGTON - The hottest topic in cocaine addiction is another drug -- a medicine already sold to wake up narcoleptics.

Hundreds of cocaine users are testing whether that legal pill, called modafinil, could help them kick the addiction, and there's early evidence that it may.

In addition to blunting cocaine's notorious cravings, modafinil might also counter the damage that cocaine wreaks on users' brain circuits -- damage that, in turn, fuels the cycle of addiction.

The prospect of that double-whammy has the National Institutes of Health spending $10.8 million researching modafinil as a potential cocaine treatment.

Results from the first of three key clinical trials could arrive by year's end.

Scientists are cautious.

In a hunt spanning two decades, no one has found a medication to help treat cocaine addiction, and there's no guarantee that modafinil will pan out.

But for Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse, the narcolepsy medicine tops the list of promising potential therapies.

It may help restore proper function of a crucial brain chemical, dopamine, that addiction hijacks.

And in describing why he's hopeful, one leading researcher recounts the man who accused his drug dealer of selling bad coke before realizing modafinil had kept him from getting high -- and several other modafinil testers who told of flushing cocaine down the toilet.

''I've been treating cocaine-addicted patients for something like 25 years, more, and I've never heard of anybody throwing away cocaine,'' said Dr. Charles Dackis, of the University of Pennsylvania.

He led a pilot study that suggested modafinil more than doubled cocaine addicts' chances of going cocaine-free for a period of at least three weeks.

That study enrolled just 62 people, but the results were significant enough for the NIH to fund new research -- at Pennsylvania, the University of Texas in Houston, Boston University and other sites -- enrolling about 650 cocaine users to see if modafinil really does work.

The main side effect so far: insomnia, not surprising as modafinil is sold today to help narcolepsy patients fend off that neurological disease's sudden sleep attacks.

Addiction specialists gave it a look because even though modafinil isn't a classic stimulant, it triggered something in the brain to also improve patients' mood, energy levels and ability to concentrate -- effects that might counter cocaine withdrawal. Then came the surprises:

* Cocaine intensely stimulates the brain's pleasure centers, producing not just a ''buzz'' or a ''rush,'' but outright euphoria. In a small safety study to ensure that modafinil didn't make cocaine worse, some users found the pill blocked that high.
* Modafinil seems to increase activity in the prefrontal cortex, the brain's decision-making command center and the spot that allows reasoning to override impulse or emotion. Cocaine reduces activity in that key brain region, making it even harder for would-be quitters to ignore cravings.
* Modafinil also increases the ability to think strategically, a means of weighing variables and risks to make decisions, says Frank Vocci, NIDA's pharmacotherapy chief.

Cocaine is highly addictive: About 16 percent of people who try it become hooked.

In the latest data, from 2003, the government estimated that more than 1.5 million Americans were dependent on or abusing cocaine, and more reported recently experimenting with it.

From WebMD
The company that makes Provigil, Cephalon Inc., has decided to not market the drug for AD/HD (it was to be marketed under the name Sparlon).

Provigil is authorized by the FDA for daytime sedation related to narcolepsy and to treat sedation from changing shifts at work, and has been found useful in potentiating the effects of antidepressants. Several studies found Sparlon effective for AD/HD in approximately 50% of children, adolescents, and adults.

Since Sparlon works on different neurotransmitters than traditional stimulants used to treat AD/HD, it is sometimes effective for people who don't respond to other stimulants. It is also not a controlled drug and refills are permitted.

Sparlon was awaiting approval from the FDA. Unfortunately, the FDA advisory panel recommended "non-approval" because of concerns over the possibility of a rare but serious rash, and recommended the drug company conduct a 3,000-patient clinical trial to rule out its occurrence. Cephalon decided to not proceed with additional studies.

This decision does not mean that a physician cannot prescribe Provigil for AD/HD, but it is an expensive drug that might not be covered by someone's insurance if not prescribed for approved conditions, such as narcolepsy.

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Provigil may affect your judgment, thinking, or motor skills. If you experience any of these effects, avoid hazardous activities.
• It is best to avoid alcohol while taking Provigil. Alcohol may have altered or increased effects while taking Provigil
* stay away from sharp objects and umbrella's while using this medication.

Posted by: tracy


it is in the Phase II data that Provigil is INDICATED FOR ADHD. there are clinical trials showing great results. Most people with ADHD have trouble sleeping (the H is for hyperactivity). Also, the physician treating would determine which drug is best suited for the patient. Also, the box could have been a trial sample and she would have it as it was (not carrying it around).

Something akin to keeping normal sleeping patters would help. Even if you are ADHD, OCD or bi-polar.

You can't say up and party all night and expect to parent your children properly. They need to go to bed early at that age. They need a set bed-time. They don't need people running in and out, noise or distractions when they are trying to sleep. You have to help your children establish sleep patterns early.

Like Adderall, Provigil is used to treat ADHD, narcolepsy, excessive sleepiness. But many people simply take it to LOSE WEIGHT! It zaps your appetite and makes you hyper. Bet you anything that's why she's taking it.

I believe you can still get Provigil from overseas via one of those online pharmacies where you email a doctor "oh help me doc, I've got ADHD" and he/she scrips you some. Can't do that with Adderall; it is more tightly controlled. Provigil probably will be soon as well because people are just now learning about it as an effective weight-loss drug.

I have MS and I take Provigil for the fatigue, so it can be used for several other things.

You should really stop taking pictures of her purse, it's WAY to invasive. I am pretty sure Britney doesn't have HDAD [though it's not a bad thing or something, I myself have HDAD], and if it's for sleep disorders then I hope things will get better for her in that case. But like you've said we can't know if they're for her - but if they are, again, I just everything is cool.

Hope everything goes well for her!:) LUCK BRIT!

Sometimes when people have been off drugs for a little while they are prescribed Provigil to give them energy. I know this because I was prescibed Provigil for that. After being off drugs for couple of weeks I had no energy. And this helped.

You are aware Britney left Kevin right? Maybe you should excuse yourself from the whole Britney topic, you obviously have no idea what you're even talking about.

maybe her hair looks that way because she is driving a CONVERTIBLE!!!!! Hello?? Top down!!!!

what the hell is HDAD? Do you mean ADHD? If you have this dosorder, you might want to learn the proper name for it.

Posted by: juz sayin


She's taking that because it is a stimulant that helps you concentrate -- like coffee, only much, much stronger and more specified. It also have appetite suppressant properties, so I bet that she is taking it to lose weight.

Why would she be driving around with her top down and her purse open like that knowing that paps will be all around her? Does she want them to see this? Because of all the fires, the air quality is terrible in L.A. right now and people are being told to drive with their A/C on and vents closed and spend as little time as possible outside.

I do know that Britney filed for divorce. She wanted to put K-Fed back under her thumb. She also asked him before the divorce was finalized whether he was sure he wanted to get a divorce.

As I recall, his answer was "yes".

If he had bowed down and kissed her toes and assumed his proper place in her vision of her happiness, they would no doubt still be together.

that RX is a replacement for cocaine and would explain her odd behavior- she is using that instead of the coke to avoid failing a drug test.

Your explanation sounds more logical than any, but watch out for Herbie, AKA Lt. Dan. He like to threaten people on here who bash BritSnit. He thinks he can take them to internet court or whoop up on their ass through his monitor. He sees snipers in his dreams. He is clearly delusional.

In January 2005, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania published the results of a small study, which found that modafinil (a.k.a. Provigil) may help recovering cocaine addicts fight their addiction. Similar published case reports suggest that modafinil might also be useful in the treatment of amphetamine addiction.

Everyone knows Britney wants Kevin back, she never wanted to leave him in the first place, she was pressured into doing it. That's why she's so pissed at her mom, ex-manager along with others. Also the reason why she can't stand Lynne is because she wanted her to leave Kevin but would visit the kids at Kevin's when he had them before she went into rehab. She felt like Lynne was "siding" with Kevin and Brit couldn't comprehend since Lynne was so adamant about her divorcing him. Kevin DOES NOT want Brit, she wants him but he's not having it. If he really wanted her he had ample of opportunities to get back with her. Money, cars, vacations, and all types of luxury objects WASN'T enough for him to stay with her. He felt a sense of relief getting away from her. She's crazy and abusive to him and SPF and JJ. Mentally and physically.

Modafinil is a eugeroic drug generally prescribed to treat narcolepsy, made by the pharmaceutical company Cephalon Inc. It is not a typical stimulant and is often described as a "wakefulness promoting agent." The drug is sometimes prescribed off-label for ADD/ADHD.

In the United States, Modafinil is approved by FDA for the treatment of narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea and shift work sleep disorder. In some countries, it is also approved for idiopathic hypersomnia (all forms of excessive daytime sleepiness where causes can't be established).

Off-label use

Modafinil is widely used off-label to suppress the need for sleep. It is also used off-label in combating general fatigue unrelated to lack of sleep, such as with Chronic Fatigue Immunodeficiency Syndrome which is also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, in treating ADHD in adults, and as an adjunct to antidepressants (particularly in individuals with significant residual fatigue). It has a positive profile for depression because in addition to reducing fatigue, it increases subjective mood and friendliness.

Suppress need for sleep

In suppressing the need for sleep, it is generally administered 1-3 times daily in doses of 100-200 mg, up to 600 mg/day. Users without prior experience with stimulants generally respond well to lower doses.

ADHD

As of February 2007, there are at least seven English-language articles on randomized clinical trials in humans in the Medline database addressing the use of modafinil for the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Some studies have shown the use of modafinil in the treatment of ADHD is associated with significant improvements in primary outcome measures. Cognitive function in ADHD patients may also improve following modafinil treatment, in some studies. Studies for ADHD report insomnia and headache were the most common adverse effects, seen in approximately 20% of treated individuals.

In December of 2004, Cephalon submitted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) to market Sparlon, a brand name of tablets containing higher doses of modafinil (85, 170, 255, 340, and 425 mg) for the treatment of ADHD in children. This was withdrawn, however there is potential for use in treating Adult ADHD.

Modafinil is also used off-label to treat sedation and fatigue in depression, myotonic dystrophy, opioid induced sleepiness, spastic cerebral palsy, and Parkinson’s disease. It increases subjective mood and friendliness.

Studies on modafinil (even those on healthy weight individuals) indicate that it has an appetite reducing/weight loss effect. All studies on modafinil in the Medline database that are for one month or longer which report weight changes find that modafinil users experience weight loss compared to placebo.

Modafinil used in a randomized double blind study showed that normal healthy volunteers between the ages of 30-44 showed general improvement in alertness as well as mood. In the 3 day study, counterbalanced, randomized, crossover, inpatient trial of modafinil 400 mg was administered as well as a placebo to the control group. The conclusion demonstrated that modafinil may have general mood elevating effects in particular for the adjunctive use in treatment-resistant depression.

UMMMMMMMMM....yeah, it is prescribed for ADHD. Provigil and Adderall are both prescribed for that particular disorder. My guess is Brit is using Provigil because she is having trouble staying awake without her meth, which she cannot use if she is to pass her court ordered drug tests. My ex used provigil for that exact reason...he could not stay awake once he stopped using meth.

Britney is addicted to fame. She thinks that total adoration is her due. She apparently gets her back up when the public and the courts think that she shouldn't be able to party like a rockstar whenever she wants.

If she wanted to party like a rockstar, she shouldn't have had children. She'd have been O.K. if she kept adopting dogs like Paris Hilton. Unless she decided to start fighting them and killing them like Vicks.

Even before she lost custody, you saw her with those dogs cradled in her arms more often than one of her sons.
