Hi Ania,
I've taken Zoloft and Provigil together. I did feel like the Provigil helped some with the cognitive-dulling side-effect of the Zoloft. I ended up going off of that combination when "my insurance wouldn't authorize the Provigil" (I'm now questioning whether my insurance actually said that or my pdoc was too lazy to call for the pre-auth.) Whatever the case, I went off both and switched to Remeron and that has actually worked better for me. I had some really serious memory/concentration problems on the Zoloft. Hope it doesn't do that to you. But I did think that the Provigil helped counteract some of those side-effects.
Good Luck!
Lynda
