> ritalin is a dopamine reuptake inhibtor much like cocaine actually. yes provigil has unique effects, but i really think that its effects your add well because of the dopamine properties. the only way to test this tho is to see how it goes. i deveoped tolerance to provigil myself, had to keep upping the dose. good luck.
thanks. I know I have dopaminergic issues, and when I combined 100 mg Provigil with 20 mg ritalin, I became hyperdopaminergic-elevated sexual desire and explosive orgasm, intense mental focus, BUT also inability to shift my attention freely, it was like moving a mountain to turn my attention from one thing to the next. And I felt like I had been stunned, physically-- for a period of about seven or eight hours. Overall, not pleasant, although it had its moments.
Have you tried both provigil and Ritalin? What would you say their differences in effect are?
