Their actions on my sleep cycle are exactly the opposite of Klonopin's. If I wasn't so addled from Provigil-induced insomnia I would explain my theory of why klonopin induces depression. In fact I did explain my theory, but like your post the other day mine didn't go through and now I am not up to more explaining. I wonder if I'm going to have to take Ambien every night to sleep in order to stay on Provigil, which is otherwise very promising as far as cognitive and mood effects.
>If it all works well for you and the Ambien allows you to sleep and keep the rest of your regimen without daytime sleepiness, then that isn't too bad of a problem to have.
