Oddly enough, I never found any stimulation from the provigil, for sure not like ritalin and the others. It seems to calm me, lift depression, sense of well being, less anxeity, sleep fine. Seems to replace my daily anxious thoughts with normal well being/normal/social thoughts.
Hopefully it wouldn't be much of a speedball effect (I think Provigil is only comproable to a couple cups o coffee), and still be able to taper valium slowly. I know that if I'm on valium soley, w/o dopamine, i know that i will think and obsesss about the taper and valium all day long, and drive myself insane, and the day and every minute feels so damn long.
But just 2 days on the Tryosine, I've thought less about, less anxiety about, and could even spread out my dosing on the valium (normally take second dose at 1pm, i can now take at 3 and not freak out), whereas normally, I'll just be obsessing about when the next dose is.
So I think it's worth a shot. We'll see how I feel.
I hope you're able to push provigil on your doc. But most look it up, and are like narcolepsy? Little do they know the extreme benefits people from all across the gamet of psychological health are receiving from it.

Brian
