Hi Dinah. I hope I can offer you a little comfort because you and I have had similar reactions to many drugs.. Effexor (YIKES) Wellbutrin, I know we share a hatred of sensitized Noripinephrine receptors.. We got sumo wrestler head(I'll never forget your description) from Seroquel, and we are prone to anxiety.
According to my *Super Psychopharmacologist*
Provigil doesn't act on Noripinephrine but on the histimine receptors.
I know that officially it's mechanism of action is unknown, but my P.Doc is always up on his drugs so I'm sure he's correct about the noripinephrine at least.
The first time I tried Provigil (illicitly) it did nothing for me, not nervous just thick headed and headachy-- but the second time, months later I tried it with a different A.D and it was wonderful. I felt energized and optimistic but not nervous at all, it combined with my A.D was my miracle combination actually.
Sad irony for me is of course I found my miracle
in the hospital and my G.P outside of the hospital refuses to prescribe it.. however that's another story.
And this has really been long enough (sorry)
