I liked Concerta in comparison to regular and Ritalin SR. Cylert isn't that great. Provigil isn't an amphetamine like Adderall or Dexedrine - and it works in different areas of the brain than amphetamines. Amphetamines push out norepinephrine and dopamine from the pre-synaptic neuron whereas Ritalin work mostly with dopamine and blocks reuptake.

Still having problems with sleep. I resorted to using Seroquel - unfortunately Seroquel has a heavy hangover and makes me unmotivated and depressed - but it gets me to sleep. I still have my job, but we've got a new VP and she's going to overhaul our whole dept = layoffs. I won't be surprised if I am let go. But that's ok - I'm planning on moving and going to grad school to get my Master's in music performance.
I see my sleep doc in June and have my sleep study mid-June. I've realized, tho, through session with my therapist that a lot of my nighttime anxiety/insomnia has to do with intense loneliness and nervous anticipation of going to work. I'm just not a 9 to 5 person.
Hope you are well!
Jerry
