So maybe it would be wise to divide the dose. Then maybe the tiredness would not surface around 2 p.m. I could take 20 mg. in the a.m. and 20 mg. at noon. Hum.
Also, I wonder if 30 mg. in the a.m. and 10 mg. in the p.m. would work. I really don't want to take Provigil. I think my pdoc would prefer no Provigil. It was my pulmonary doctor talked about Provigil. I also remember that I got sort of weird on Provigil and walked around like a zombie, shuffling along. Really weird reaction. I had a different pdoc then. Pdoc now is opposed to Provigil, and I know he would be okay with splitting the dosage.
Around 15 years ago I took Parnate, 30 mg. I can't remember if I split the dosage. But it worked really well for me--got me out of a profound depression. I did well on it for around five years when I was weaned off of it and was on no medications until more recently when I crashed into depression again. I have had ECT too (and don't recommend that at all) and quit it early and went back to Parnate and got a new pdoc and am doing much better now partly because I also see my pdoc for therapy three times per week too. He's an analyst (psychiatrist) and can prescribe the med's too.
