In reply to Attn. atmlady ... Ixel plus Provigil, posted by Robert35 on May 13, 2008, at 15:54:49
Hey, Robert - I babble-mailed you some info that I hope will help you. I only take 100 mg of ixel which I understand to be more beneficial to depression. Those with fibromyalgia and pain take 200mg. After 100 mg there is no increase in mood elevation but there apparently is increase in pain relief.
I have also experienced some fatigue while on provigil and am experimenting with not taking it on the weekends (perhaps 5.5 hours of sleep a night is not enough?). Too early to say how it's going, but so far so good, I don't really feel the effects of not taking it until Sunday, which is a great day to lay around sleeping and doing nothing, whereas if I'd taken the Provigil as usual I'd be go go go like always.
I'll just add for those who are interested. While taking the Ixel/Provigil I often feel those chills on my arms or legs like whoo! I always thought it was the Provigil, after all, it's a stimulant. But after a few weekends of no Provigil, I know now it's the Ixel! Have I mentioned how much i love Ixel? And Provigil? But Robert, I'm just assuming you are of the male species, be aware that there may be some urinary issues with the Ixel that seem to affect men but not women. Hope you can avoid them. I have experienced no problem with weight gain or sexual dysfunction on ixel, both of which were problems for me with lexapro and effexor. Good luck, man!
