> > Hey guys, if I decided to try Adrafinil, what should I do about my current meds.? Wellbutrin 200mgs. 2x/day, Celexa 40mgs. 1x/day, Adderall 10 mgs. 3x/day. I'm not scheduled to see my Pdoc for a couple months, also I feel a little uncomfortable suggesting specific meds. to him. I probably would end up telling him that I had tried the Adrafinil, but I kind of want to see if it works first. I don't know, I'm kinda just shooting in the dark here, because though my mood has improved, I still have terrible fatigue and anhedonia. Whatta ya think? CarolAnn
>Just to let you know, I'm taking 500mg welbutrin SR and 600 - 1,200mg adrafinil, and have not had any problems.
The only other thing I have to say is to be cautious with the adderall & adrafinil combination - Of course I can't pull it up right now, but I've read of some research on provigil (similar to adrafinil) combined with the classic stimulants. I believe what it said was that adverse effects were limited to incr. nervousness, etc. The kind of thing you might expect from taking too much of a stimulant...
However, I think that it said this was based on a single dose (not evaluated over any extended period of time). I believe it also noted that the onset of the effect of the provigil was delayed about an hour.
I'll try to access that site/info again later, and I'll post it here.
