> I'm wondering if a person could avoid tolerance or dependance by regularly switching between similar medications? For example if a person were taking a stimulant, could they stop every 2 weeks and take Provigil for a week? Or could a person take klonopin 2 weeks and xanax every 3rd week?
I'm not sure about switching between benzos, but I know that switching between stimulants and Provigil did not work for me. A former p-doc wanted me to get off of Adderall XR so prescribed Provigil instead. The only thing it did for me was make me nervous, which Adderall doesn't do. Provigil, of course, is also incredibly expensive.
