DK about a lot of what you're considering. The more imformation you can provide the better. I think any pdoc would be glad to know your background and what's worked and what hasn't. Provigi is certainly more and more widely used for both daytime fatigue and ADD. Pristiq is not a SSRI/SDRI so theoretically it hits both serotinin and norepinphrine receptors. I must be the only person in the world who hasn't gained weight on remeron. Its a great sleep med for me and is supposed to have good additive AD effects when combined with effexor or pristiq. I am having good luck with the combo of remeron and prisiq. Effexor was too agitating for me so whatever the reasons for introducing a new med, pristiq, when effexor was going off patent, it is definitely a different beast. I had terrible apathy on prozac as well. Provigil helped and I am not having the same reaction to prisiq.
Hope this helps. Good luck. Be prepared to go slow. In my experience, most good docs don't like to change more than one thing at a time. If you change two things at once, you can't tell what's what. Makes sense to me.Zana
