Yeah MAOI's.. Only give you 5hrs of sleep a night if you are lucky. You walk around narcoleptic all day.
I was prescribed nardil and amphetamine. When Nardil seemed to lose effectiveness I was placed on amphetamine while on Emsam. I never had any hypertensive problems, however overstimulation became a problem as Emsam seems to metabolise into some sort of amphetamine. I avoided taking the stimulant while on Emsam because it was just too much.
Usually 10-15mg a day of adderall or dextroamphetamine with the MAOI was all I could handle even though I was prescribed 30mg.I tried provigil for a short while. It worked incredible, but it made me feel ill. I stopped provigil suddenly, I had horrible withdrawal symptoms, so scary I am afraid to talk about it.
