In reply to Is Provigil on its own good for depression?, posted by odon on May 3, 2009, at 8:09:18
I have used Provigil for several years, maybe more. If I kept good records I could tell you. But I have never taken it without something "under" it, ie another AD of somekind. It definitely brightens my mood, gives me energy, gets me up from staring at the wall. But it also has a short half life, about 7 hrs, and can be a kind of nasty crash. It also can cause anxiety which is why I take it with klonopin and gabapentin. And I take Pristiq. I have always used it as an add-on.
Hope this helps.
