Hi SG-
I will be going on provigil for depression. I don't have adhd. I've had some cognitive issues all along, but they seem to have worsened recently. I've been under a lot of stress lately, and I don't tend to handle it well, and this is when the cognitive problems really surface. I don't know about the "official" list for acceptable stimulants, if there are any. What my pdoc told me is that provigil is the only one that's safe to use with EMSAM. I trust him, as he's never led me wrong and he's been my pdoc since the abrupt onset of the depression almost 6 years ago. He also said that we could try a small dose of aricept, as that many have found that it can improve cognitive abilities in the non-Alzheimer population.All I had with the NTG with me when the reaction occurred. I have an appt with my internist on Tuesday and am planning on asking for a script for nifedipine (bite and swallow) for emergency use if it ever happens again. That's my plan for now.
It sounds like some strides have been made in diagnosing your adhd. I hope that you're able to get optimal relief with your combo.
Best wishes,
