I have been doing research on Provigil as well as gathering information on people's experiences with the drug as I am hoping to use it to augment the Celexa I am on.
If you don't mind, could you please tell me what you mean by "it left me feeling odd"? Also, in the short time you have been on it, have you noticed an effect in terms of motivation and mood brightening? Finally, what dose are you currently using?
Thanks in advance.
> I just got some a few days ago. It's amazing how similar it is to other meds based on the NT effects. Tastes a lot like the norepenephrine effect of Wellbutrin to me plus the GABA effect of neurontin/phenibut. I am not real excited initially. It's also similar to the effect of stimulants plus benzos which is sort of middle-ground drugged. Supposedly Provigil does not give a 'high' but only promotes wakefullness; adrafinil achieves this through a combo of stimulant/sedative effect. I don't know, it kind of left me feeling odd. I was worried that it would cause insomnia but that wasn't a problem due to the perhaps mildly ghb-like GABA sleepfullness effect.
