JohnL. Just got a message from my pdoc (unfortunately I was outside). She has some concern about mixing Adrafinil with an MAOI, although she had no concern about mixing the provigil. So they really are, apparently, not all that similar--it would not be surprising that you reacted quite differently to the two. She is also worried about possible liver problems.This is not a very conservative doctor; plus she is an excellent doctor, so I am anxious to talk to her. She said she'll call back to "discuss with me the risks", so I don't think she's eliminating the choice, although I will ask her if she has a preference for me to try something else first.
This also speaks to the importance of talking to your pdoc first, if you are mixing meds on your own. shellie
