My Milnacipran of 2 months had just made me have energy but also have no drive or joy.. Just an estranged from the world hard hearted feeling.. Also a feeling of being totally devoid of enjoying anything.. There were issues which could have increased the depression but Savella 2 months on just had me feel totally emotionally numb and very apathetic. . So on my request a stimulant was added by the doc.. Namely Provigil..
And Savella dose reduced down to 25 from 50.
On day 2 of Provigil i felt mood elevation and general feeling of well being, interacting socially with interest and smiles..after an hour of taking... Further on the good mood was replaced with a constant focus and being involved.. In a while all this got out and i just felt edgy.. Mentally straitjacketed.. Jittery and cut off emotionally.. This was followed by dizziness and feeling like i am in a daze... Which further went on.. I was talkative and confident.. The jittery feeling led on to a panic attack.. 0.5 Ativan. . The anxiety easened.. Felt nice at a dinner.. Sociable and witty .. In a while was pensive and withdrawn. . After this dysphoric.. Depressed and sick...
Milnacipran and Modafinil together... Along with Ativan... Any comments? The spurts of euphoria i felt today seemed promising. . But i wonder how good can Provigil as an anti depressant , tho of course its absolutely off label... And also does Provigil take few days to reach a steady state unlike the Benzos?
