> GG, was your doc reluctant to add Provigil? Mine is but I have read that others are on it with Nardil. What dose are you on and what does it do for you? Is there any benefit with it providing focus as I suffer from ADD symptoms too.

My previous pdoc added Provigil 200 mg, and she didn't seem reluctant at all, though in hindsight, that might have been another red flag that it was time to change docs. My current pdoc seems to ask me every visit exactly why I'm taking it again. I know he remembers, but I can tell he's reluctant about it.I was hoping it would help with inattentive symptoms of ADHD. It hasn't made a huge different at all in that, except for maybe curbing verbal impulsiveness a bit. What it has done is help regulate my sleep/wake cycle so that I can get up in the morning when it's socially acceptable to get up and not when my own body clock dictates. And getting to sleep at night is then easier, too, so I'm not needing much Ambien anymore. I wish it did more for ADHD, or I wish there was something else I could take for it with Nardil. I almost think ADHD symptoms are a bigger problem for me now than depression.
