Thank you so much Racer! I appreciate the time you took to respond to my questions. You are very kind. I have been through 5 AD trials in the past year with limited success, and it is getting harder to put up and keep a brave front. I know that if Provigil does not help me, I have other options. But I am just running out of strength and, some days, finding it hard to maintain a positive outlook. The pdoc I see is not the most progressive or creative, and seems set on one monotherapy after another. He cancelled my appointment last week (which I had been waiting a month for) and offered me an alternate appointment that conflicted with an appointment I had with the ortheopedic surgeon (to have my arm reset in a new cast). When his secretary (a.k.a The Palace Guard) told me the next available appointment was a month away, I said I'll think about it, but would likely just take care of things myself. The pdoc called me back and said I should be fine just on Celexa, so I said thanks, but I was getting close to the end of my rope and I would take care of things myself. Anyways, he called me back at the end of day and relented to let me try Provigil. He had said no initially to that as well as to nortriptyline and Wellbutrin (because of my extreme anxiety). Oh well. I'll be ok. Sorry for rambling!
Take care.
