> I don't know your pdoc, of course, but I've always found it better just to tell the truth. Maybe not about experimenting with amphetamines, barbiturates, or opioids, but Provigil is not very useful as a recreational drug unless about one gram is taken (and at this dose, I swear, I couldn't distinguish it from a low dose of MDMA). Because of its very low potential for abuse, I wouldn't worry about your doctor thinking you a "druggie" just because you tried it once to see if it relieves your symptoms. Just be sure to tell her that you did research before combining Provigil with an MAOI, or else she may become a bit upset. :-)
If you do tell her, i would take the above advice. But i'm not sure if you should tell her-- many docs might get worried if their patient is taking stuff on their own w/ another med, esp. an MAOI. i do stuff like that all the time, and i know Provigil is not very dangerous at all, even w/ an MAOI, but you never know how pdocs are gonna react-- just be sure she's not gonna take you off the Nardil if you tell her.
