FYI, the zyprexa blocks the alpha-1 adrenoreceptor
which indirectly inhibits glutamate release.
Geodon is much less likely to have the
side effect because it doesn't block the alpha-1
receptor like zyprexa. Serzone and Trazodone
potently block the alpha-1 adrenoreceptor.
Provigil is pro-glutamate release.

> I think I asked "can I get some Provigil?" and she replied "sure." For the first time I have a doctor that actually asks for (and listens to) my input (she knows that I read a lot and am responsible, etc.). She said that she has found it fairly effective for mild ADD-like symptoms. I started the desipramine along with Zyprexa three weeks ago. The Zyprexa made me realise what I *didn't* want from a psychoactive (slugishness and dulled affect), which is why I thought a more activating drug might be more helpful. (I stopped the Zyprexa three days before starting Provigil.)
