Hello again and thanks for your response,
I've taken the Adrafinil before, and I was taking two 300 mg twice a day. When I told my doctor that I thought the Adrafinil was helping me, he prescribed the Provigil. His script was for one 200 mg tablet in the morning. I only began taking the drug a month ago, so I would think that my doc would have started me out on a low dose. I have no idea what the therapeutic range of dosing is for Modafinil for deep limbic/inattentive ADD & cyclothymia, but with the 200 mg a day, I feel great!
I also take:
Wellbutrin-300 mg a day
Klonipin- 1.5 mg a day for Cyclothymia
Clonidine- 2 mg a day to augment the Klonipin
(I just added the Clonidine to the mix last month and it’s wonderful!)
When an extra brain boost is needed in the morning, I take a 54 mg Concerta.Over the last couple of days, I’ve taken two 300 mg of Adrafinil twice a day, and I feel fine. (Probably overkill, but what the hell!)
Hopefully, my insurance will approve the Provigil tomorrow, so no biggie…--Tim
> Tim, am I correct in thinking that the dosage of modafinil is 100 - 200 mg per day (100 mg tablets)? Does that mean you're taking the maximum dose then? If that's correct, then you'd probably need to take 4 tablets (300 mg) of adrafinil per day, 2 tablets in morning, 2 at lunch or early afternoon.
