In reply to Parnate plus Modafinil, posted by uncouth on November 2, 2008, at 9:35:09
Epocrates drug interaction checker shows "caution advised" for modafinil + Parnate, but "Contraindicated" for methylphenidate + Parnate, no interaction for Abilify + modafinil.
> Anyone have any experience adding modafinil (or adrafinil) to parnate to counter some of the tiredness parnate tends to generate, especially in the afternoon. I'd hate to add yet another med to my regime, but I like modafinil's non-speedy wakefulness effects, and it really tends to help my ADHD and concentration issues. Parnate has helped with that independently, but it's not as strong as a stimulant, and when I used to be on Focalin, it was like a miracle in terms of concentration and getting things done. But I know methylphenidate and parnate is a bit dangerous, although it's been done in the past it seems, and my pdoc won't likely let me go there.
