In reply to Anyone taking Provigil?, posted by Sandee on July 19, 2001, at 18:47:48
> The doc just prescribed 100 mg for ADD. I asked for Adderall because I've had success with it in the past. He said he wanted to try Provigil because it's not addictive. I never felt addicted to Adderall.
Stick to what works! He should know that. But doctors these days are scared of the DEA and lawsuits and such.
I think Provigil could be helpful for ADD. I tried adding it to Parnate, and the effect was stimulant-like (although it didn't make my blood pressure go up nearly as much as Dexedrine and Adderall did).
> I was taking 20 mg of Prozac, he decreased it to 10 because he said it would be too stimulating combined with the Provigil. I've yet to feel a thing.
I started out on 100 mg and I didn't feel a thing either (and that was in combination with Parnate, which tends to be stimulating too).
> How long does it take for it to take effect?
A couple hours, I think.
This whole thing of doctors refusing to prescribe the more controlled drugs is really getting ridiculous. I mean, they're doctors. They have DEA licenses, they're *allowed* to prescribe these drugs when they're indicated. Don't they get that?
