I have been searching for something to take with klonopin (which I take for GAD & SAD) that helps improve energy and mood. I have more of a problem with anxiety than with depression.
The klonopin is working good (1.5mgs at night), but feel it agrivates my mild depression/energy. I tried Provigil with it today (50mgs) and felt really good.
It was funy as unlike my usual self I just went about my business and didn't focus on "how I was doing." I found that before I knew it I had moved furniture, cleaned the house, did tasks I have been putting off and visited friends and family. I was social too.
My doctor said the good thing about the Provigil trial is that I'd know if it worked in a day or two. I like that part of it as I have done my share of (30 day trials) and am sick of them.
Provigil is a mild stimulant that for some doesn't have the typical stimulant side affects of anxiety/the shakes, ect. (like I get with from just one cup of coffee).
I felt sharp for the first time in a while and noticed when reading my comprehension was much improved. My mood was much better.
Obviously too soon to be the pitch man for Provigil, but day one was great. Just thought I'd throw it out there for those that struggle with similar issues, another option to consider. I'm looking forward to waking up and having another productive day......
