Hi ronaldo.

Yeah, I started adrafinil 4 days ago. 150mg the 1st day, 300mg 2nd and 3rd, 450mg 4th day. I got a nice mood lift the first day. Since then I have had good energy and good concentration, no good mood, and a headache. Insomnia the first night, but fine after that. It is strange but adrafinil along with its stimulation also seems to be mildly anti-anxiety at the same time. Weird. Anyway, in my past experience it really didn't start to kick in until week 3, so I have quite a ways to go.

I will probably stay at 300mg which is the dose I took for several years. I might increase it but I have other things to consider. For example, I am on day 10 of withdrawing from 10mg prozac. I am on day 3 of reducing zyprexa from 2.5mg to 1.25mg. I am on day 10 of St Johns Wort, starting at 150mg and yesterday hit 450mg. So there is a lot of stuff going on. I'm kind of in a hurry but also trying to be careful and not change any one thing too dramatically all at once.

Overall I feel uneasy, not well, headachey, disconnected, spacey and a bit nervous, on top of the depression. The withdrawals of prozac and zyprexa combined with starting sjw and adrafinil makes for a very weird feeling. I would have liked to completely withdraw from old meds first, but I know from experience that if I did that I would crash and burn badly.
