hi /m
sorry for the delay. I was away and ended up without internet access. Now just recovering from the ordeal of the trip
I'm thrilled you've started on the provigil. I hadn't realized it was finally available in the US. oh duh! :)
have you started it yet? notice anything? yes, I ask a lot of questions LOL
good luck and please keep us updated!!
as a result of my 'experience', I've decided to try and not see any pdocs for awhile. Am going to see if my primary will write my focalin & klonopin since they are stable prescriptions, try to discontinue the wellbutrin & buspar and am going to give tianeptine a try.
my concerns about EMSAM is that I would probably need to reduce my focalin dose so I'm going to wait. Of course, I'd also need to find another pdoc... another good reason to try this route first :)
I wish you all the best and hope you report your progess :)
namaste,

> I just thought I'd let you know that I saw both my pdoc and Internist today. My pdoc started me on 200mg of provigil once/day to see if it'll help. Then, because of the recent tyramine reaction/hypertensive crisis, my internist gave me a script for emergency catapress 0.1mg to use if I ever have the misfortune of having another. I had askd her about some nifedipine (bite and swallow) for those purposes and she said that they have now found that using nifedipine for these reasons causes too rapid a drop in BP- will actually bottom you out and then you can have an MI so she uses catapress for that reason.
