Re: SSRI + Provigil?

Like Donna said... Provigil is a stimulant that has a much lower side effect profile than amphetamines and other common stimulants.

Pharmacologically speaking.... it activates alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, increases glutamate activity, and increases dopamine transmission through GABA inhibition and weak reuptake inhibition.

I've been using it for a little over a week at 200 mg, along with my daily Effexor (225 mg)... I have noticed mostly mild effects. I may need to raise the dose to 400 mg, though I'm scared to due to my anxiety problems.
