In reply to CE - Nuvigil/Provigil vs pstim?, posted by sheilac on June 22, 2011, at 8:48:29
Sheila, 2mgs of klonopin could be a big source of fatigue. Have you and your doc looked at that piece?
I eventually went over to xanax when taking dexedrine, which I will second has an short acting antidepressant effect. Xanax is also has a reputation as a mood brighter.
I think it's great you can tolerate nuvigil.
Even though you have med sensitivities, you have some reasonable options.
> Thanks for confirming that about Adderall. I always thought I got an antidepressant feel from Adderall which I thought was weird. Antidepressants make me jittery and nervous. My doc likes me on Adderall.
