In reply to Provigil effects on serotonergic medicines?, posted by MattD on May 17, 2003, at 17:56:36
> Have any of you taking Provigil regularly noticed any effects on any serotonergic medicines you're taking (e.g. SSRIs)? In, particular, have you noticed any increases in effects from the medications? I've had what I take to be small bouts of serotonin syndrome since I've been taking ProVigil (200mg) daily with a variety of drugs which increase transmission of serotonin. This is odd for me; I have been on very large amounts of SRIs before and have had no signs of serotonin syndrome. I can see why the pharmacology of Provigil could lead to this sort of effect; I'm just curious as to whether any one else has noticed ProVigil's effecting their SSRIs, etc.?

> MattI've been taking Provigil (200 mg) for about a week now, I am also on Effexor (225 mg). I haven't really noticed any interactions - bad or good. There is certainly the possibilty, as provigil has been shown to increase serotonin release.
