You would probably fare better on tranylcypromine (or selegiline) than Provigil. IMHO its use for concentration problems is ill-founded.

If you want to try an MAOI for attention/concentration problems, I'd suggest first going with the selegiline patch at the lowest dose. Selegiline has nootropic effects not related to MAO inhibition. The side effect profile at low doses is also fantastic. If the patch doesn't work out, you can always try tranylcypromine.

Selegiline has shown benefit in studies in Alzheimer's, ADHD (children and adults), and narcolepsy. Anyone who had partial success with bupropion probably would like the patch better; selegiline is WAY more dopaminergic than bupropion.

BTW, Desoxyn is d-methamphetamine (MAP), not the racemate. The equivalent of 15mg d-amphetamine (AMP) is probably around 5mg MAP. Only a fraction is metabolized into AMP, which is 1/5th the potency of l-amphetamine with regard to peripheral stimulation. Thus, I think you are worrying a bit too much. :)
