I would appreciate any comments on either Adrafinil or Modafinil in terms of efficacy, required dosage and appropriateness for long-term use as a psycho-stimulant. Has anyone tried either drug in combination with Klonopin?

> SteveI've found Provigil to be a great addition to the Klonopin I take for Social Phobia. Besides energy and alertness, for me the Provigil actually enhances Klonopin's anxiolytic effect by making me more assertive, outgoing and sociable. I initially took the standard dose of 200 mg, but found that 100 usually does the trick, and without the small amount of jitteriness 200 occasionally added. Alas, Provigil provides no respite from the memory lapses I suffer, presumably from the otherwise greatly-beneficial Klonopin (1 mg/day).
If you end up trying Provigil, and find that 100 mg works for you too, see if you can get your doctor to prescribe the 200 mg pills anyway. They're scored and easy to snap in half, and you'll save LOADS of cash that way (especially if your prescription is actually for 200 mg/day ;) )
