Next week I hope to take the dose up to 300mgs and give that some time. My Psychiatrist is very open to me trying almost anything, probably because he's as desperate to get me well as I am. I didn't have to sign a waiver. He never heard of amisulpride or adrafanil, so I guess he trusts my judgement when it comes to meds he knows nothing about. I've been with him over five years.
About provigil,
If adrafanil doesn't work out, I may consider Provigil as an augmentor. My main reason for trying adrafanil 1st is due to JohnL's experience and how it helped his anhedonia/apathy, a big problem for me.
Anyway,
It's always great to hear from you Scott and I hope things are moving in the right direction for you, you certainly deserve it.
Sincerely,
Anthony
