No sound medical advice but my experience and a suggestion. In 1985 I was hospitalized for stim. overdose/abuse problem. I had worked my way up to 200mg. of Dexadrine/day. The old pdoc I had at the time took me off "cold turkey" with 4 or 5 days of low dose Mellerill (sp) - other than that I just had a lot of very colorful "nightmares". I know you aren't at that point (hope you never are).Do you think Provigil and low dose Klonopin might work? Just a thought.
Wish you the best,
Geezer
