In reply to Provigil ( other stims) - anxiety versus energy, posted by Krazy Kat on March 25, 2002, at 20:05:36
Hi there,
I was wondering lately about Provigil, so thanks for starting a thread on it, Kelly! (How are you? besides ramping up now more slowly on the med?)
Does anyone know how Provigil reacts with Neurontin (for BP II) and Wellbutrin? How does the mood-leveling effect of the Neurontin work along with the stimulant? Is it effective with the Wellbutrin? Looking for answers,
Wendy

Also, as the day went on, I got more anxious and actually a tad paranoid (thought someone was following me home). OCD is acting up, too.
