Hi! My Pdoc doesn't want me to change amytriptyline yet, maybe later. He knows how much I HATE insomnia, so I'm willing to go along with it but will try a fourth of a 25mg tab.
Yes, I've had bad luck with every hypnotic I've tried. Being tired the next day is bad enough (elavil) but being fuzzy-headed and stupid also is too much for me. I used to take something from China called "Jin Bu Huan" which was great! but it's off the market. It came in itsy bitsy pills in itsy bitsy vials in itsy bitsy boxes which were, unfortunately,a big attraction to children. I have a few left but have no idea what's in them, nor do Chinese practitioners know, so I don't dare take them with Parnate!Maybe the Provigil will help. I haven't heard of adrafinil. Where/how do you order it? I did e-mail a pharmacy in Canada and they have 100mg Provigil for $1.92 each and a generic made by Cipra in India for .94 each. I paid $8/each. Provigil should be generic here pretty soon since they've come out with Nuvigil? But from what I've been reading on this forum maybe Brand Name is much better. I guess I should see if it works for me, first!
Thanks for your input!! Gayle
