Hi Tepi, I was once on Provigil and Nardil and they worked well together. I have a very knowledgeable psychiatrist who would never under any circumstances prescribe a stimulant like Adderall or Ritilan with an MAOI. However he said that since Provigil method of action is unique, he said Proigil is not really contradicted for use with an MAOI because it does not really bind to the MAO process like the DA agonist stimulants (Adderall) would. I believe it is relatively safe to add Provigil and do not see why the doctor would say no. But as with all medications that do work with MAOI's just use caution and do blood pressure checks etc. I did not due well on Nardil itself because of the constipation and bloating that led to massive gains in weight. EMSAM and Provigil worked extremely well and lost the weight from the Nardil. Also I had huge improvements with atypical depression and Narcolepsy (even ADHD) with EMSAM + Provigil + Lamicatal combo. Actually I would worry about drinking too many energy drinks with an MAOI than adding Provigil (trust me, I learned that the hard way and so did the toilet) Hope that helps.
