> Rocket, I must have missed it, you say that the K/P combo is working for you? Is something still missing? I ask because I am on 100mg zoloft, 10 mg buspar bid and 200-300 provigil and am feeling as good as I ever have. I would love to be able to stop the zoloft, so I am interested if you are doing well on the just the z/k. I wasn't doing that great until I added the provigil, I would love to just take that with the buspar.

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your post. I'm glad to hear your combo is working well!

Your question on the Klonopin/Provigil combo is a great one, and one I ponder often. Though the two work extremely well for me, I continue to take them on an as needed basis. I guess part of me deep down is worried about being on a daily benzo (fears of tolerance, etc.), even though there's research and a ton of anecdotal evidence that seem to prove otherwise. One of my biggest fears is that increasing my frequency of use might cause the current effect to poop out, which is an absolute nightmare to think about. So I'm hoping that a daily, baseline med such as Zoloft might just provide the maintenance I need between prn Klonopin/Provigils. That is, as long as any possible side effects are kept in check (another worry...).

Are you thinking about dropping the Zoloft soon? How was it doing for you before the Provigil? Any side effects? And what kind of effect has the Buspar had? I would be very interested to hear how things turn out if you indeed decide to stop the Zoloft and just go with the Buspar/Provigil. I would love for a combo like that to work. I've just heard so many conflicting stories about the efficacy of Buspar that I'm not sure whether to give something like that a try or not. When I first learned about it in medical school a couple of years back, I was extremely excited about possibly trying it out. But then on my Psychiatry rotation it was essentially equated to water on so many times by my professors that I wasn't sure what to believe. What do you think?

Thanks again for your info!

Rocket
