I did. The Provigil gave me headaches so I switched to Adderall. Despite what most people believe, you CAN take a stimulant with an MAOI.

Hope this helps.

I took Provigil with Nardil for 6 months+. Was great to begin with but I quickly built tolerance. I wouldn't recommend daily use of Provigil if you can help it, but using it on an as-needed basis would be a better plan. Like on days which are extra demanding or when you need to be alert. Have days off when you can relax, days that are not demanding.

Yes, I have Social Phobia - bad end of the scale. For me ALL stimulants help, at least at first. Think its the confidence boost they can give - & dopamine plays a crucial role in SP.

I consider Provigil a stimulant. During the first week at least you will feel like you're on strong coffees, but probably more pleasant with less jitters. But like I said, with daily use you'll probably build tolerance & increasing the dosage seems counter productive with Provigil. Some people are lucky & maintain benefits (from daily use) indefinitely, but normally they manage this from small doses like 100mg/day.

Like I said before, you'll probably like it but I would recommend NOT using it every day. Maybe 4 of 7 days, or take a week break once a month.

What other meds are you on? A benzo can help with any jitters you might get.

Parnate was making me tired and the Adderall helped (also with Nardil). It helped with the drowsiness and with my concentration. I had no side effects. I think Adderall can become addictive, but maybe you only need it short term.

why not ? do you think that if I take one stimulant I could never be able to leave them?


> What other meds are you on? A benzo can help with any jitters you might get.


Im on Xanax an Nadil , wanting to add this stimulant


Do you enjoy more things on them ? DO you feel more confident around people?
What do you do when they stop working?

As long as they work for yes.

Actually its not that rare at all. MANY people on here have built a tolerance to provigil eventually, often a lot sooner than you'd think. Maybe it depends for what reasons & with what other drugs you're taking it.

> > Like I said before, you'll probably like it but I would recommend NOT using it every day. Maybe 4 of 7 days, or take a week break once a month.

> why not ? do you think that if I take one stimulant I could never be able to leave them?

No, Provigil isn't really addictive like typical psycho-stims but there is a probability of tolerance if you take it every day. And bets are that if it does loose efficacy at 100mg you'll want to increase to 200, then 300, then 400, etc.

> > What other meds are you on? A benzo can help with any jitters you might get.

> Im on Xanax an Nadil , wanting to add this stimulant

Give it a go, you'll probably like it. It'll certainly give you a lift & wake you up. Just try not to use it every day to avoid tolerance. Tolerance & addiction are NOT the same thing.

> Do you enjoy more things on them ? DO you feel more confident around people?

It wakes you up & clears your head. Its a nootropic. You think clearer so you'll think of things to say easier & tasks will become less of a challenge. Guess this does bring more confidence yes.

> What do you do when they stop working?

Simple. Stop taking them. You'd find it hard augmenting something which is already supposed to be augmenting something else. Still, if it did loose all efficacy then trying it again further down the line might work again. Alternatively, you could add bupropion (Wellbutrin) to Nardil safely which has less chance of pooping out & can be taken every day for continued effctiveness.

If you're after more energy then an NRI (reboxetine, amoxetine, desipramine) combined with Nardil might well do the job you're after just as well, if not better than Provigil, if your pdoc will let you.

I have just recently used some of my provagil that I had hanging around from when I was on ssri's. Many people do build a tolerace quite fast but you dont go through withdrawl exept for loosing the boost it gave you. Me, Im a bit of a special case, I need 400 - 600 mgs for it to work. It can really help you stay alert and cognative functions and physival mobility is easier. I just used it the other week twice to stay up all night and write a paper, then go to school, soo the 500mgs (spread out on 100mgs pills got me through a 30 hour period quite easily. BUT as weird as it may seem 1-2 or even 300mgs doesn't do squat. I will only use it when I need it like maybe once a month or a bit more. Its expensive too. It also took away the side effects of unbalance and weakness and dizzyness im still experiencing frm nardil (only been on Nardil 7 weeks)
