Cool. If you haven't already, you might want to go to remedyfind and see what others have to say about their provigil experiences. Most of them are pretty postive, only a few negatives here and there.

One good thing is that if it is going to work it will do so quickly. No long trials needed. Some people though do need high doses. Some people take like 800mg in a day. Most people seem to be in the 200mg to 400mg range, a few at 600mg. Less 200mg doesn't give a fair trial.

> My pdoc just gave the green light to try Provigil along with the Emsam and Lamictal I already take. If it works, then I will go off the Lamictal. He said it is okay with the Emsam, and from what I read, it's okay with SSRI's. Don't know beyond that. For me it makes sense since I do have sleep apnea, and part of my depression has to do with no energy and being barely able to make it through the day. When I took Parnate years ago, it had the effect on me like a stimulant and brought me out of depression like nothing ever had. This time it didn't work. I hope Provigil works as I want to avoid the ECT at all costs. I read that Provigil at high doses is not good and should be limited to a few months. I will be starting out at 100 mg. and possibly go up to 200mg. Tomorrow I start and will let everyone know what it does for me. I hope it works as the "shock machine" is on the horizon for me otherwise.
