In reply to Provigil ( other stims) - anxiety versus energy, posted by Krazy Kat on March 25, 2002, at 20:05:36
Ummm, KK, if you'll excuse a little incoherence (read my post further down on Benzos), I'm going to use the term Provigil even though mine is adrafinil - same main metabolite.
The calming effect on Provigil didn't start till a week or so after the alertness & brightened mood did. The gentle, calm mellow feeling I got with it was the last effect to kick in. It took me about 3-4 weeks to notice that I wasn't tense with rockhard muscles anymore but felt at peace inside & could sit calmly without my legs twitching, kicking & moving all the time (more voluntary than involuntary - just always wound up).
Myabe that part will take longer for you too. The sublime peace is so wonderful. This coming froma person who equates energy & alertness = hyper & heightened reflexes & reactions, with calm & relaxed = almost comatose or drooling in my sleep. To be awake. alert & relaxed I thought impossible. I feel like I've reached heaven on those days.
