In reply to Provigil - here goes...... (Janelle), posted by Snoozy on April 30, 2003, at 0:29:44
Could any of you kind pbabblers tell my why Provigil only lasts 4 hours for me (I believe half life is 8-12). I have taken 100mg, 200mg (divided doses), 400mg all at once. The limit is always 4 hours then I hit a very dysphoric rebound depression. When I take divided doses the second dose does nothing.
I must add it is possible I am Bipolar II (although I find this a no better guess than recurrent major depression). I have been at the "game" for more than 31 years - so anything short of toxic doses doesn't really concern me.
Current meds. Lamictal 200mg., Prozac 20mg, Klonopin 1.5 mg. I had Prozac poop-out 2.5 years ago and have lived with sever atypical depression since then. I am doing better on the above cocktail but still need to get my eyes open. Previous abuse problem with Dex. so amphetamines are out of the picture. Have given thought to Concerta. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks Geezer
