I have been doing research on Provigil as well as gathering information on people's experiences with the drug as I am hoping to use it to augment the Celexa I am on.
If you don't mind, could you please tell me if you have been using Provigil to augment an antidepressant? Also, has it had significant effects in terms of motivation and mood brightening (additional antidepressant effect) and reducing apathty? What start-up side effects did you experience? What dose are you currently using? And, finally, how long have you been using it?
Sorry for all the questions. Anything you can tell me would much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
> What dose are you taking? My suggestion would be to try a lower dose or split the dose up through the day. When I first started Provigil I hated it sooooo much. I lowered the dose, started breaking it up and taking half my dose in the morning and half the dose late morning to early afternoon. It made a major difference. Over time the side effects diminished and tweaking the dose made me go from hating it to not being willing to go without it. Give it time, experience and a chance.
