you. I faxed info on it's testing in ADD patients
to my doc and (hopefully) will start a trial with
it after my appt. on the 22nd. I'll be replacing
Adderall, which is working OK but as JohnL says,
I'm looking for a superior match.

got another patient he's going to recommend it to.
I'm someone who's usually very sensitive to even
small amounts of stimulating meds -- they
typically worsen my anxiety. But Provigil has had
nothing but good effects from the start, and I
quickly ramped up to 200 mg. After four weeks,
there isn't the slightest indication of poop-out.
I should point out that I added the Provigil to
Klonopin and Serzone...maybe that makes a
difference. On the other hand, I was on Klonopin
and Celexa when I added a small amount of
Wellbutrin, but I couldn't handle the anxiety it
brought back...and I forced myself to give it a
full four-week trial.So if your body chemistry is anything like mine,
look for a positive experience. If it's more like
JohnL's, Adrafinil could turn out to be the way to
go. If you can afford it, maybe you should order
some Adrafinil in advance, "just in case". I've
never ordered from overseas -- the whole concept
makes me kinda nervous -- and don't know how long
it takes to arrive.Good Luck,
Rick
