Hi Delna,
thanks for your message.
It's very difficult since in my country they only prescribe stimulants only for very very severe disorders.. it's not commong at all to prescribe them for treating some side effects caused by other medications!
It was even difficult to get my doc to prescribe partnate in the first place.. Parnate is considered very exotic in my country and it's even unavailable over here (had to import it).. I really don't know if it's possible to get a prescription of Provigil...I know there aren't any alternatives to parnate except maybe Nardil, so I will keep trying hard. If this daytime sedation won't pass I will try to get a Provigil subscription.. but I'd have to pay for it on my own since my insurance won't cover it, because I'm not suffering from serious narcolepsy which is the only real indication for it over here..
I think they are too much concerned about possible abuse or addiction to stimulants..
What do you think about that? Can you tell provigil's effects apart from parnates?Does one develop tolerance to it?
I could get parnate legally over a freind who is MD and who could write a prescription for me. I wouldn't like that since I'd like my pdoc to agree on that matter, but maybe if anything fails I would consider it.. what would you think?
However yesterday I took 20mg before sleep and I slept like a baby so maybe it's working!
I was much more clear headed during the day without taking my doses during the day!How are you doing? Did you increase your dose?
How's your sleep? If you are still suffering from insomnia.. are you going to consider a sedating antidepressant -maybe a serotonine antagonsit- as a sleep aid? I think considering insomnia is the most common side effect of parnate- it might be necessary.. what do you think?I wish you all the best!!
