Nuvigil......
I've just wanted to ask/or tell here, it increases alertness, very similar to Strattera (strattera made me in awful moods)It's the same thing, it releases norepheniphrine, which is realated to knowing what's going on, or just staying awake. Provigil I got it mixed up with.
150mg-300mg. I'm told to take one, it's a very diffrent medication. It's like caffiene with no "anxiety", and less "potent".
It's only for temp. period, i'm giving it a try, i take one in the morning, it's indirectly noticable, yet it's effect just keeps you active, instead of sleep, your awake, yet still have focus problems.
_________________________
One more thing Xanax XR, works, but it doesnt bring the relief fast. It's better to take in the morning 2-3mg. And maybe at night if you can't sleep, it lasts a long time.
One thing, it works. That's the bottem line,
My med/s are being readjusted, no longer take Xanax anymore, i just "stopped" cold turkey, did have anxiety but...who cares, i've seen so much bad stuff happen/ so what else? Yet the XR form, i'm thinking...is the best, it's slow.

here's a post I found that, the dose would go down, and the XR, lasts longer.

Phillipa you know anything about this, or anyone else. What's better a long acting, or a extended release acting medication. There is a diffrence.

RJ for me the long acting wasn't as good as short acting as need more for sleep. Now that is just me. Love Phillipa

I know, sometimes just say "flush", no more. Body takes care it'self, Yet then life get's worse. I really wonder what makes pessimism.

Hi rj,
glad to see you have some meds that might help. don't know about xanax xr--never tried it, just he regular release--but slow is good (that's why i like the klonopin) Maybe less rebound.
good luck,

It's well at night, during the day...this feeling (i know it's anxiety, or something!) Just every where i go, if i miss one thing, a word, or just the posture of the appearance, it starts to fumble. Then, i go through getting away, yet i still feel the worst rejection.
Anyways, XR at night is ok.....there is something called Atrax i take, for anxiety during the day, it doenst last long, taking an XR in the morning, and one at night, i don't know. I don't tell what "this" or "this" is going to be, because maybe it's not the right treatment. I do know that i get lost on the roads/highway....and look like, just a while ago, got lost, it's focus. Yet the medication isnt the whole part, it's the awareness of reality, if your not with it, your out.
That's all. Thank for posting.
rj
and be sure to know i'm an actor just walking down the street, still am thinking about the, this internet service provider so nettrafffic, won't bumb into someone else that knocks you off...(that's dialup). Other's DSL, Fios, it is connected, but it is slow if too many people are on the network, Wish me/ pray for that, it's complicated yet it would help alot of people.
