The funny thing about Ritalin is that at first I began getting a positive response at a low dose, but it was short lived and never returned with either gradual increases, or augmenting with parnate.

> Good luck Anthony. I'll be praying for you. One question - I'm confused. Did you take both Parnate and amisulpride together? How would you describe your experience with amisulpride? I am considering combining Parnate and Provigil, so I'll be keeping an eye on you. Again, good luck.

Yes, I was taking 1/2 pill daily of Amisulpride along with Parnate & ritalin. Then lowered to 1/4 pill amisulpride and still no results. So now It's just the 50mg Parnate and 150mg Adrafanil, possibly increasing parnate and/or adding small doses of ritalin if nothing happens, but I am going to give the Adrafanil 1week at 150 then up to 300 before I give up on this combo. I think it was John who mentioned Adrafanil takes a few weeks to really take effect, so I will use this as a guide.
By the way, this was my 2nd amisulpride trial, I did try it alone at 50 then 100mg a while back with no improvement. I feel like I've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at this illness.
If this current regimen doesn't hit, I still have all those other combo's you gave me to try with the parnate. Thank you again for that Scott,
Sincerely,Anthony
