Hi Scott.I did combine Ritalin and klonopin. What happens is that Ritalin seems to change the way Klonopin functions when used as a counterbalance to Ritalin-induced anxiety. It had something of a 'disinhibiting' effect that was not desirable. Or perhaps the Klonopin simply had no effect when combined with Ritalin. I was taking 2 mg a day (ordinarily 1 mg is all I can tolerate due to excess sedation at even 1.25 mg) to seemingly no effect. But it seemed like it was worth a shot, simce the Ritalin was so beneficual in other ways, to push the Klonopin dose as high as I could get it in order to tolerate the Ritalin.

I have never tried Adderall. I am awaiting lab results to determine if I have had serious adverse reactions to Provigil (possibly diabetes). Provigil works for a symptom cluster of my ADHD, one quite distinct from the one Ritalin worked on (remember those venn diagrams from school? they would come in handy in illustrating the differential effects these drugs have on the many symptom clusters or subtypes of narcolepsy, anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc. that I instantiate).if the results are diabetes or other dreadful thing Provigil is doing to me, Adderall or Dexedrine it will be. of course, i may need more klonopin for a while, too.
