I am also interested in learning more about the anticonvulsant interaction with Provigil. Also about the Celexa. Where can I get more info, like to show pdoc? (kregpark, anything?) I'm currently on 1500mg Depakote, 100mg Celexa and 200mg Provigil and I'm STILL sleeping 10-12 hours a night. Waking up in the morning is next to impossible, even with a light box. All I do is dream that I can't open my eyes and I'm getting fired from my job...
Thanks,

> Thanks for your response. Interestingly, I did start taking Lamictal at the same time I started the Provigil ... that would support your information that Provigil can be negatively affected by an anticonvulsant. Makes sense to me!
