Anthony - What changes in mood and physical well being do you notice so far? The addition of Nardil (an MAOI, as I have never trialed this class) is a suggestion my doctor made, after I see what the Provigil will do. Any comments on that one?
Shellie - Hey, I just wanted you to know, I'm not ignoring you:) I just returned from a camping trip to Leadville, CO and then got a virus/sinus infection that has had me down for the last day or so. So...I hesitate to comment on the effectiveness so far. Something is playing games with my stomach, though. Could be the virus, or the migraine med I took after the heavily MSG laden Chinese food Sunday eve. OR the Provigil. I'm hoping it's not the latter but we'll see.
I received my Adrafinil. Cool but now I need to be patient and give the Provigil a fair trial so I can make an intelligent assessment. Patience is not my forte.
Oh, BTW, I have (recently diagnosed) ADD with hypoactivity and depression. I am taking 10mg BUSPAR 3 x a day, in addition to the stimulant. I have dropped the Inderal I was taking to prevent migraine breakthrough from the Adderall, as I have replaced the Adderall with Provigil. I don't want to take any medication if it's not necessary. The migraine from the MSG responded quickly to the meds and I haven't had a repeat attack since, so I guess I could say that so far, the Provigil is not triggering headaches, which is a big plus to me. Today, I'm feeling much better than yesterday, even though I am still sick. Don't worry - when I've had long enough to really know, I'll report my findings on Provigil. But, as they say, YMMV.
I know the Buspar is helping...somewhat... but I'm not where I'd like to be. I took Amineptine plus Sulpiride while in the Philippines and it worked GREAT. I'm looking to feel that good or better and haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
JohnL - Keep typing, man. You have helped me more than you'd imagine by your detail. I am encouraged and feel that I am going to find my magic combo, very soon. So what if I'm wrong - it certainly feels better to have hope, than not. It keeps me going.
Best of health to all of you!
