i don't think i'm taking this correctly. i take 5 mg as soon as i wake up, @ 9:00 am, then 5 mg around 1:00.
it seems to have a Really short half life for me - i only get about 2 hours of help in energy and motivation from it. and those are both only slightly improved. but there is still a slight improvement.
so, my guess is, it needs to be raised to 10 mg, three times a day?? does sr ritalin work?
also, i can tell when it's wearing off - get irritable and tired. i crash.
that's frustrating b/c pre-depakote i was a mood machine and i don't want to go back and forth t/o the day again.
but, i took 100 mg of provigil one afternoon and it caused the same anxiety/kind of over-emtions it had before. i was ready to cry at anything. freaked out because i had to cross a bridge... strange.
so, i really guess it's out.
