My pdoc just gave the green light to try Provigil along with the Emsam and Lamictal I already take. If it works, then I will go off the Lamictal. He said it is okay with the Emsam, and from what I read, it's okay with SSRI's. Don't know beyond that. For me it makes sense since I do have sleep apnea, and part of my depression has to do with no energy and being barely able to make it through the day. When I took Parnate years ago, it had the effect on me like a stimulant and brought me out of depression like nothing ever had. This time it didn't work. I hope Provigil works as I want to avoid the ECT at all costs. I read that Provigil at high doses is not good and should be limited to a few months. I will be starting out at 100 mg. and possibly go up to 200mg. Tomorrow I start and will let everyone know what it does for me. I hope it works as the "shock machine" is on the horizon for me otherwise.
