In reply to My experiences with Provigil other stims, posted by A0102 on February 11, 2002, at 1:30:44
Ever tried using Eldepryl 5-10mg as a "base" (no pun intended), then adding the Provigil, Wellbutrin, or whatever?
Eldepryl used alone that way synergizes quite potently (dopaminergically) in augmentation.

> Hi,
> I thought some of you might find my experience with Provigil interesting (and maybe a little dull as well). First of all, I have depression (frequently quite severe) and usually find myself having varying degrees of anergia. I have tried Provigil in combination with Celexa, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Desipramine, and all alone. I have tried doses from 200-600mg/day. For me, any dose below 400mg is unnoticeable. Only when I have taken 600mg am I unable to fall asleep. At that dosage, the only other side effects I notice are perhaps a tiny (hardly noticeable) amount of shakiness and increased heart rate. No euphoria, no increased desire to socialize, nothing else at all. I do not think that my response is typical, but I suppose I'm one of the unlucky ones. I have also tried Adderall and Concerta (even in combination with Provigil) and neither of those are particularly stimulating for me either. Don't get me wrong, the Adderall and Concerta don't go unnoticed, they just don't have me bouncing off the walls. The largest effect that I notice with either of those is the increased ability to concentrate (although I have never been diagnosed ADD). No euphoria with those, either. In fact, the only stimulant that has ever had that kind of effect for me is cocaine, which I have only tried on one occasion. Another odd thing with my experience with coke is that it had me euphoric and wide awake for *hours* after only 1.5 lines (taken in one dose). I have stayed away from it ever since because I can see myself becoming quickly addicted. BTW, I've never had an addiction and definitely am not looking to start. Anyway, good luck with Provigil or whatever you pursue and I hope that you can find a medication that helps keep you happy!
