I don't know that provigil will provide the happiness you're looking for, but should give you more energy.
I've been on EMSAM 6 weeks. I was begining to really think nothing would work for my mood, mental fog, energy. EMSAM was the gap that was missing. I felt good right away, within a week I really could notice a change. At 4 weeks it was better. I sometimes really wonder who I am as
I've never participated in life, had this good of an outlook before. I hope it's the "real me" and not an imposter! My doctor was very optimistic that EMSAM would do for me just what it did.
Nothing else worked, though I had never tried an MAOI before. Seems they work good for those that don't respond well to other anti depressants, at least it did for me. I thought about going to Nardil, but waited it out for EMSAM as I figured if it worked I won't have to contend with the food issues at the 20mg dose. And I work hard to keep my weight down and EMSAM wasn't supposed have weight gain as a side effect which has been the case with me.
In fact, I've probably dropped a few pounds as I have more energy and my gym workouts are longer. It's certainly not for everyone, but it has been for me. Just hope it never poops out! Rob
