> Tell me more about provigil, if you could please...I'm really interested in it. I like adderall, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to augment my current dose (60mgs) without adding more adderall to the mix, and Wellbutrin kind of scares me.
Provigil is a weird one. How's that for a ringing endoresement? In a nutshell, it is a non-amphetamine with no apparent dependency potential (I only take it on occasion, so I couldn't tell you if this is entirely true) that promotes a sense of alertness and wakefullness without overt anxiety or "wiredness." Though I haven't tried adderall or the like, from what I read (and from some experience taking it) Provigil is much more mild. Some feel it actually isn't doing much if anything at all, so I guess results may vary. All I know is it seems to alleviate the pesky sedation from the Klonopin and in a way sort of "isolate" its anxiolytic effect.
