In reply to Provigil(Modafinil) worsens dep? Or bad med mix?, posted by AdamCanada on May 3, 2007, at 3:31:35
I haven't used provigil with paxil, but I'm inferring that you experience a fair amount of anxiety even on paxil.
I would give provigil a much longer trial before deciding that it was causing a transient reaction of anxiety or depressed mood.
Could it have been the music, or something else that you were thinking about?
Provigil isn't an extremely strong stimulant, so while it can lighten or improve mood, and give you more energy, for a while, it doesnt' give you so much as to overcome other powerful states. of tiredness or anxiety. It works better on less intense states. It can sometimes increase anxiety a bit-- but in my experience not often.
I used it with Parnate, which made me very tired; and it helped a little, but often wasn't strong enough to overcome the exhaustion. Overall though it was quite useful even with Parnate.
I would try it much longer than one day, and see how it does. The effects often are subtle, but noticeable improvement in energy and alertness.
