> Dunno if I can get Provigil over here in Australia though, sounds like it gave you mild hypertension at first but I definatly wanna try it.
I took my BP after initial doses for a few days, something I do with every new med or food I'm not entirely sure about. I saw no change from my usual BP. If it did go up, it must have been within the margin of error on my machine.
> Have you tried Bupropion with an MAOI for weight loss, Provigil prolly work better yeah?
My new pdoc suggested that the first time I met with him, but when I pointed out that it's contraindicated he pulled it off the table right away, so I've not tried the two together. That's one that I wouldn't be comfortable trying due to the risks. I did take Topomax with Nardil in the past. I tried that in hopes of helping with the weight issue, but it made me more depressed rather quickly, so I stopped it after about 8 weeks.
I'm going to try taking my 60 mg in two doses instead of my usual three. I tend to eat a lot late at night, especially when I wake up while on Ambien. I'm thinking this might be related, at least in part, to Nardil carb cravings. My other doses occur at times when a carb craving can be squashed with the next meal, but the last dose (about 10 p.m.) doesn't have a normal meal to follow. We'll see. I've not taken 60 mg in less than 3 evenly spread out doses before.
