Unfortunately im in the rhealm of gps and well..ya..they tend to read monographs mostly which is a shame. got a referral to a pdoc, one who isnt affraid of augmenting maois, but playing the waiting game as nardil slowly loses its kick to my energy and concentrations levels is driving ME insane lol. anyway...i'll get there. I can add a bit of mucuna here and there to boast energy but i worry about augmenting maois myself without proper guidance/advice from a pdoc...occasionally run into issues...thank god for my common sense to use tiny doses always to start...get the feel for it first. i can see any bp or panic issues coming a mile away this way.
provigil and calmness...interesting. if you could add a mild stimulant to that, like mucuna, successfully you may have something pretty good.
let me know how it goes.

> Oddly enough, I never found any stimulation from the provigil, for sure not like ritalin and the others. It seems to calm me, lift depression, sense of well being, less anxeity, sleep fine. Seems to replace my daily anxious thoughts with normal well being/normal/social thoughts.

> Hopefully it wouldn't be much of a speedball effect (I think Provigil is only comproable to a couple cups o coffee), and still be able to taper valium slowly. I know that if I'm on valium soley, w/o dopamine, i know that i will think and obsesss about the taper and valium all day long, and drive myself insane, and the day and every minute feels so damn long.

> But just 2 days on the Tryosine, I've thought less about, less anxiety about, and could even spread out my dosing on the valium (normally take second dose at 1pm, i can now take at 3 and not freak out), whereas normally, I'll just be obsessing about when the next dose is.
