In reply to Emsam + Provigil = Tiredness?, posted by Jeff81 on May 22, 2007, at 20:33:38
> I have been on Emsam for 10 weeks. I am on 12mg. I started Provigil Saturday (200 mg). I take 100 mg in the morning at 100mg at 1:00pm. I notice I get increased energy for about 2 hours after the first dose and then feel tired, disoriented. Almost feel like I am sick with a virus. I also feel like my personality is dulled. Is this possible? Did anyone else have this experience? I have take Provigil in the past and I did not feel this way. Could there be something weird going on since it is combined with Emsam? Any insight would be appreciated.

>I'm on another MAOI (Parnate) and my doc adamantly refuses to prescribe another stimulant (I've asked him specifically about Provigil) b/c he says that it's dangerous to combine them with MAOIs; he doesn't even want me taking caffeine tabs while on Parnate(and I've been taking about 4-5 200 mg tabs during the day to counteract the Parnate fatigue).
How did you get your doc to prescribe Provigil and and an MAOI at the same time? Have you experienced any serious side effects from the combination of the EMSAM and Provigil. And what, btw, are you taking Provigil for?
