Thanks Michael. Very interesting. You know, the adrafanil is supposed to have some effect on noradrenaline (that is what the information that came along with it said, but I don't have the specifics) and the only time I took it I did feel jittery-that is why I took it only once. AD's that act on norepinephrine (sp?) make me jittery and nervious, too. But you say the provigil is unique in that it does not act on the same receptors as adrafanil?? This changes my outlook-but you do, or do not take it yourself? I noticed that you take all the same anxiety meds that I take -ALL the same, but I also take low dose SSRI which makes me feel icky, jittery, sick, spacy,hyper, etc. . .but it stops the crying!
If you do take provigil, did you say it improves your mood-sort of acting as an AD? (I know another response mentioned that- i wondered if your reaction with provigil is similar in that regard)
It sounds so tempting to try neurontin, but also very expensive. With no insurance I don't think I could afford that med. The benzos are much more affordable, but i know my doc's are concerned about me using too much/too many benzos-hence one of the reasons I am looking for alternatives.
What would be the lowest dose of neurontin that would be effective for a person? (A small sized person who is very med sensitive!)
Do you really need to take thousands of mg's daily of this stuff??
