Hi -
I've been on 400mg Wellbutrin for years, and I tried adding 200mg of Provigil for a few weeks recently. I'll probably go back to it if I can get my insurance to cover it.
Do you have symptoms other than ADD - depression, anxiety, etc? And what is your Wellbutrin dosage?
My main problem is excessive sleepiness (13-15 hours a day, but still always sleepy). The Provigil did help some with alertness, which helped my concentration/focus. Provigil is subtle, there's no rush like the rush you get from coffee or other stims. I wasn't able to stay on it very long, but I wasn't having any big problems with side effects.
I have read a few people here have taken it for ADD - I hope they can help you a bit more!
> I have been on wellbutrin for a few months, with not a lot of success. Doc wants me to try provigil. I have ADD and was on dexedrine for a few years, but decided to try something different. Can anyone tell me their experiences plus or minuses with these meds?
