In reply to clean cups clean cups new meds Lamictal?, posted by elanor roosevelt on March 13, 2008, at 15:08:38
My pdoc wasn't reluctant to prescribe Provigil. It's not a good drug for me, though. If I take it for 2-3 days, it helps a lot. By the 4th day, though, it starts to make me more depressed. And it seems to make me more depressed when it starts to wear off than I was before I took it.
My husband abuses Provigil. It's easy to get tolerance built up. He is supposed to be taking 400mg a day but takes probably 1000mg. His doctor doesn't know this of course. So he runs out of his prescription after a week. And then, believe me, he is miserable for days before he starts to recover.
Just saying be careful with Provigil. It's very tempting to "if a little helps, then a little more will help more."
Never tried a Lamictal/Provigial combination. I couldn't take Lamictal at all. It caused muscle spasms and headaches. Although it did seem to help with my depression and anxiety even though I was only on it for 2-3 weeks. I got up to 50 mg before I couldn't tolerate the side effects and had to go off.
Hope this helped a little.
