>hi ed,
my doc thought I had develeped diabetes (possibly) because of persistent thrush. I suppose diabetes impairs the immune system? Anyway I don't have diabetes. Liver, blood, thyroid panels came back OK. I don't know what to do about the tongue at the moment. It is fortunate that the only thing I habitually use it for is to speak, if you know what I mean ;-) All I can say at the moment is that Provigil is unrivalled in its capacity to cause dry mouth. Strattera, nortriptyline, methylphenidate, and various permutations of the three result in veritable floods of saliva compared to what happens when Provigil is added :-( And sadly, as I have found, the dose that does not cause this effect does not work. :-(
The mouth infection is nasty, though, and my GP does not think that there are viable alternatives to clotrimazole. However, i have to get through life as best I can. hepatic damage, diabetes, immune dysfunction are reasons I would d/c Provigil. I am able to maintain a more normal weight on Provigil (this is an issue of immense importance to me). The thing is that my GP has done very thorough tests on me and does not think the Provigil poses a danger. The decision to try Dexedrine would have been made for me had my tests come back abnormal.
