I will be talking with my doctor today about adjuncting a "big" mood stabilizer to help control my impulsivity, however, he feels that I do not have these outbursts very often, which I agree, thus Klonopin and the small dose of Risperdal is as effective as it gets for keeping my impulsivity under control. Since I only have a major episode once every 6 months. As a follow up to the provigil, at 100mg or 200mg it does not do anything for me. At 600mg I have the motivation feeling the adderall gives me, brighter mood, concentration increases, However it still does not give that "kick in the butt" deep analytical focusing that the major stimulants do. (I only tried Adderall). I did not feel as restless or frustratated on a task with Provigil as if I did not have anything. Without anything, I am lazy in my bed, restless, uncomfortable, not wanting to do anything, and frustrated. The Provigil gets me out the door and into my books, the adderall gets me deeper into my books and allows me to create a "flight" of realistic goals for me to accomplish (not grandiose, I am not manic). ANd I often finish those goals on the medication with a sense of accomplishment.
