> See, I dunno if Trivastal is the right DA agonist for restless legs, due to increased noradrenergic transmission. Trivastal strikes me as more of a daytime stimulant thing.
But Trivastal definitely helps with restless legs now. You are right when you state Trivastal is a daytime stimulant. Of course it is. It activates, eliminating anhedonia to a great extent. Moreover it helps me to reduce my intake of Provigil. I used to take Provigil upto 400mg, but now it has been reduced to 200mg daily. The rest of the work is effectively done by Trivastal alone.
> But I don't want to alarm you. It does sound like you've been doing decently with this drug.
Yes. Very decently. I have forgotten the days where I couldn't even find pleasure in any activities. But now, I can focus on even the most boring activities with great interest. I keep watching otherwise boring TV programs very late into the night, not bothering how would I perform next day with little sleep at night. Being on this med with Provigil, I never had a problem getting up too early even after sleeping three or four hours. And soon after getting up, I start to keep going forgetting the fact, I haven't slept well at night. Lack of sleep don't even have a tiniest detrimental effect on the following day, as I have been too productive, with this artificially acquired motivation and strength to keep going smoothly.
