Ross,
A polite "yikes" at your level of klonopin. How do you get up in the morning? Are you taking it for anxiety? Do you take it only at night? If I take more than 0.25 mg, I cannot get out of bed the next day. 3 mg would hammer me for a week.
The advice IsoM offered is good, especially until you know how your body will react. In contrast to the above, however, I get no discernible effect from Provigil at less than 400 mg a day, but that's just me.
I would have no short-term memory at all if I were taking the mix you're on -- if you're doing OK, it just goes to show how differently people react to medications.
IsoM is right: be careful with ANY mixing. I uncautiously started taking the tiny amount of daily enteric-coated aspirin a year ago that is recommended to help prevent heart attacks. Within about 3 weeks, I had bruises all over my legs -- DUH! My doctor never heard of any interaction problem with such a low dose of aspirin, but there it was. That's why IsoM recommends starting slow.
Best wishes,
Mark H.
